Here’s the thing. Sometimes, I offer to throw a little shindig and I don’t even realize it. Apparently, my husband says “hey, why don’t y’all come over on Saturday…” and then I’m putting together a party. Which is fine–I love throwing little parties. But I kind of wish I knew about them first! LOL! One of my go-to perfect appetizers I can toss on the back porch table for my guest to munch on while I finish BBQ-ing? This Easy Fruit & Shrimp Ceviche Recipe. Seriously–ready in less than 10 minutes, it seems super-fancy, but it’s really just a few simple ingredients tossed together…shhhh, don’t tell my guests. Heh.
The first time I made the Fruit & Shrimp Ceviche, it was an emergency. Now, I make it just because my guests love it so much. A fun twist on the traditional Mexican Shrimp Cocktail, I get all these lovely flavors mixing together, sitting on top of a buttery Dare Cracker (my favorite is the Dare Cabaret, but my husband prefers the Dare Brenton Original Crackers, so we keep both in the pantry). It’s like a tiny symphony for your tongue. Which is awesome.
