Strawberries are the Super Berry of berries.
They are packed with vitamin C, folic acid, are virtually fat free. Add to that cholesterol free and a good source of potassium too. They also contain ellagic acid, which researchers believe help to reduce the risk of cancer!

This Strawberry Shrimp Ceviche Cocktail is the perfect way to start enjoying the benefits of Florida Strawberries, but you will also find they are so delicious all by themselves and great for use in salads, savory dishes, sweets, as well as infused in water!
Let's get started on this recipe!
I love it because the ingredients are fresh and easy to put together! Not to mention the flavor! It's packed full of bright and refreshing goodies!
First puree the dressing in a blender or food processor.
Then chop up all your veggies and cook your shrimp or purchase already cooked from your local grocer. I got mine already cooked from my local Publix Grocery Store, where I purchased my Florida Strawberries.
In a large bowl combine shrimp, onion, jalapeno pepper, cucumber, jicama, and avocado.
Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Before serving, add in Florida Strawberries and cilantro and gently combine. Serve in a beautiful martini glass or pretty serving bowl.

It does not say whether to put the dressing on before or after putting some of the ingredients in the frig for 30 minutes? Planning to try but can you help?

Add the dressing before refrigerating. I hope you enjoy.

I absolutely love that you used strawberries in the dressing too! I would be happy with a big bowl of this for dinner.

Thank you Laura! I am in love with Florida Strawberries! I eat them everyday (when in season) and am always looking for ways to incorporate them into new dishes. This one is light and fresh! I think it would be perfect for dinner. I also love them on baked or fried corn tortillas! (A little less healthy, but delish!) 😉
