Green Shrimp Ceviche

I told a friend today (hey Guuuuuuuurrrllllll!) to make a pesto out of her arugula and to make a green ceviche using that and shrimp. I know it sounds kind of cray, but hear me out-

Need:
shrimp, defrosted
2 juicy limes
some diced onion
1 lemon wedge
salt
arugula pesto (arugula, garlic, pine nuts, olive oil - process into pesto)

I didn't have this today, but normally I'd also add some chopped up avocado and serrano chili peppers for spice.

 

Put shrimp in a bowl and add lime juice and salt, let marinate in the fridge for at least an hour. It will turn opaque and contract the way that shrimp do when they're cooked.

 

Arugula pesto that I still had in the freezer. Traditionally, I add parmesan cheese to pesto, and I did here because it was already made. But if I was making it specifically for this application, I would have omitted the cheese. Just fyi-

 

Mix together with onion and shrimp, some of the lime juice and present. Squeeze that wedge of lemon to refresh it.

 

And enjoy with corn chips. Look at how pretty. If I'm feeling a little frisky, sometimes I add a shot of white tequila (Patrón) to my ceviche. It livens up the party.
