CEVICHE LETTUCE WRAPS

Ceviche Lettuce Wraps image

An elegant presentation that is suitable for guests. In this "ceviche" you can use precooked salad shrimp, or the more traditional raw shrimp, and serve in a romaine lettuce wrap. Of course you can use any lettuce you prefer, such as green leaf lettuce, red leaf lettuce, or Boston leaf lettuce. My husband prefers his ceviche served on a bed of iceberg lettuce rather than a wrap. You could also get really fancy if you are ambitious. Cut "strings" out of green onions and tie bundles. Thinly sliced green onions, soaked in ice water get curly. Very pretty. Created for the Craze-E Salad Contest. REVISED after reviews.:wink:

Tips:

Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This is especially important for the fish, which should be sushi-grade. Aim to get the freshest fish possible, from a reputable source.
Cut the fish into small pieces. This will help the ceviche to cook evenly and quickly.
Marinate the fish in a citrus-based marinade. This will help to "cook" the fish and give it a bright, tangy flavor. Be sure to use a good quality olive oil in the marinade.
Add your favorite vegetables and herbs to the ceviche. Some popular additions include red onion, cilantro, avocado, and jalapeños. Get creative and experiment with different flavors.
Serve the ceviche immediately. Ceviche is best when served fresh. If you need to make it ahead of time, store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours.
