This classic shrimp ceviche recipe cures fresh shrimp in lime juice. The shrimp is mixed with juicy tomatoes, onion, cilantro, avocado, and a special sauce for a delicious, light, and refreshing appetizer. Perfect on a sunny day with an ice-cold beer on the side. Of course, most Latinos (especially my wife) can make a good ceviche blindfolded on any day, rain or shine!

Flourless Crepe Tortillas
These paleo tortillas are soft, pliable, and sturdy enough to be used for wraps or soft taco shells. You can even use them as wrappers for sweet fillings! Use immediately or wrap stack of tortillas in a paper towel and store in a resealable plastic bag in the fridge for a few days. Tortillas will still be soft and pliable right out of the fridge.
