Shrimp and Mango Ceviche Easy Appetizer

Shrimp and Mango Ceviche is an easy appetizer with raw (or not) shrimp with a savory sweet combination of mangoes, peppers and avocado.

I remember the first time my mom made ceviche I thought she was crazy. "Aren't you going to cook it?!" I was blown away by the fish "cooking" in the citrus juices. I ended up loving it, but it isn't something I have made myself until recently.

Should you cook ceviche?

Traditionally the fish or shrimp is cured in fresh citrus juices and served raw, but uncooked seafood can have a host of parasites and other germs. Freezing it will kill the parasites, but not the bacteria. Check the US FDA site for more information on seafood safety.

I am still hesitant about the citrus actually killing enough of the baddies, so I used frozen shrimp and sautéed for a quick 2-3 minutes before proceeding with the recipe.
