INGREDIENTS
· 2 quarts water
· 1/4 cup kosher salt
CEVICHE
· 1 pound raw shrimp (21-25 per pound), peeled and deveined
· Juice of 2 lemons
· Juice of 2 limes
· Juice of 2 oranges
· 1 cup diced seeded peeled cucumber (1/4-inch dice)
· 1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
· 2 serrano chiles, seeded and finely chopped
· 1 cup diced seeded tomato
· 1 avocado, chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
· 1 tablespoon roughly chopped cilantro leaves, plus more leaves for garnish
· 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
· 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
PREPARATION
1. Combine water and 1/4 cup salt in a large saucepan; bring to a boil over high heat. Add shrimp and immediately turn off the heat. Let the shrimp sit until just cooked through, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board until cool enough to handle, about 10 minutes.
2. Chop the shrimp into 1/2-inch pieces and place in a medium nonreactive bowl (see Tip). Add lemon, lime and orange juice. Stir in cucumber, onion and chiles. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
3. Stir tomato, avocado, chopped cilantro, oil and 1/4 teaspoon salt into the shrimp mixture. Let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving. Garnish with cilantro leaves, if desired.
TIPS & NOTES
· Make Ahead Tip: Prepare through Step 2 and refrigerate for up to 4 hours.
· Kitchen Tip: A nonreactive bowl or pan—stainless-steel, enamel-coated or glass—is necessary when cooking with acidic foods, such as lemon, to prevent the food from reacting with the pan. Reactive pans, such as aluminum and cast-iron, can impart an off color and/or off flavor.

Watch how to make this recipe
Melt the butter with the olive oil in a large skillet over a medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and garlic, then saute until the shrimp are opaque, about 3 minutes. Remove the shrimp to a plate.
Increase the heat to high, then throw in the zucchini. Stir it around for about 45 seconds, then scoot the zucchini to the edges of the pan. Throw in the corn and cook it for a minute, then push it to the edges of the pan. Throw in the grape tomatoes, stir them around for a minute, then sprinkle on some salt and pepper to taste.
Then throw the shrimp back in. Stir everything around for about 45 seconds, or until it’s all combined and hot. Then pour it onto a big platter.
Sprinkle on the fresh basil and some Parmesan shavings then … this is the best part … squeeze the lemon all over the top. This adds a wonderful, indescribable freshness.
You can serve this with rice, with pasta or it’s just perfect on its own
