Imitation Crab Ceviche
Imitation crab ceviche is the perfect alternative to shrimp ceviche. This ceviche is made with fresh ingredients and topped with lime juice that gives it a tangy delicious taste. Serve as an entree with crunchy tostadas or as an appetizer with tortilla chips.
Ingredients
For the ceviche
- 14oz imitation crab
- 1 large tomato (chopped)
- 1 cucumber (chooped)
- 1 yellow onion (chopped)
- ½ cup cilantro (finely chopped) (finely chopped)
- 2-3 limes (juice of a lime)
- ½ teaspoon garlic salt
Tostadas
- 10-12 tostadas
- mayonnaise
- hot sauce * (optional)
- lime wedges
Instructions
- Start by chopping the imitation crab into small pieces and set aside in a large bowl. Chop the remaining toppings; tomato, onion, cucumber, and cilantro and add to the large mixing bowl.
- Combine all ingredients and stir in garlic salt *see note 1
- Ensemble the tostadas - add a thin layer of mayonnaise to the tostadas and top with imitation crab ceviche, juice of a lime wedge and hot sauce
Notes
Note 1: In step 2 you can add the juice of 2-3 limes to the large bowl and combine or wait to squeeze the juice of a lime wedge over the imitation crab ceviche tostadas and serve. (This is how I normally do it. I squeeze the lime juice right before serving)
Hot sauce: My go to hot sauce for these tostadas is Tapatio sauce or you can use your hot sauce of choice. I also like to use this homemade red salsa.
This recipe makes 10-12 tostadas
