Yield: Serves 4

Ingredients

In traditional seviche, citrus juice "cooks" the fish or seafood by causing its flesh to become firm. But because citrus doesn't heat food, it doesn't kill bacteria. Here, we briefly boil the shrimp and then combine it with citrus.

1 1/2 pounds medium shrimp (41-50 per pound), peeled and deveined
1 Hass avocado, finely diced
1 large mango, peeled, pitted, and finely chopped
1/2 medium red bell pepper, finely chopped
1/2 small white onion, finely chopped (1/4 cup)
1/2 jalapeno chile pepper, finely chopped, wear plastic gloves when handling
1/4 cup orange juice
3 tablespoons lime juice
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 teaspoon salt
8 corn tortillas

Instructions

BRING a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the shrimp and cook until pink and opaque, about 2 to 3 minutes. Drain, rinse under cold water, and drain well. Pat the shrimp dry with a paper towel.
COMBINE the shrimp, avocado, mango, bell pepper, onion, chile pepper, orange juice, lime juice, cilantro, and salt in a large bowl. Toss well and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 4 hours.
HEAT the tortillas directly over gas burners, turning frequently, until they are hot and just beginning to char, 1 to 2 minutes. Alternatively, heat according to package directions. Serve with the seviche.
