Laurel Blackerby, MS Delcambre Market Health & Wellness Program Coordinator

INGREDIENTS

• 1 lb of Louisiana shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 3 Tbsp rice vinegar
• 3 Tbsp water
• 1 Tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 tsp sugar
• 1 packages of konjac noodles
• 1 avocado, chunked
• 1 orange, sliced into segments without peel (supreme)
• ½ purple onion, diced
• 2 Tbsp low-fat mayonnaise
• 1 Tbsp sriracha 
• 1 tsp water
• 1 tsp sesame seeds, for garnish
• 2 Tbsp Cilantro, for garnish

DIRECTIONS

1. Begin parboiling shrimp 1-2 minutes until opaque and tails are curled.
2. Mix together vinegar, soy, water, and sugar. Add shrimp and toss lightly. Set in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. 
3. Mix together mayonnaise, sriracha & water. Set aside.
4. Add avocado, orange, and purple onion to shrimp. Gently fold in so as not to break up the avocado.
5. Heat noodles, if desired. (I placed my noodles in the refrigerator to get cold.) Plate warm or cold noodles, top with 1 cup of shrimp ceviche mixture.
6. Drizzle sriracha mayo on top of plated ceviche and noodles.  Sprinkle with sesame blend and cilantro, and serve.
