A refreshing and tasty appetizer full of fresh and simple ingredients!
Ingredients
- 1½ pounds shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 cup fresh-squeezed lime juice
- ½ cup fresh-squeezed lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon kosher or sea salt
- Dash of hot pepper sauce
- 4 radishes, julienned
- ⅓–½ English cucumber, peeled and diced small
- ½ small white onion, diced small
- 2–3 jalapeños, diced small
- ⅓–½ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- Sweet potato or purple potato chip, for garnish
Preparation
Rinse shrimp, pat dry and chop into small pieces. Transfer to a glass or plastic container, add citrus juices, salt and hot pepper sauce. Refrigerate for a minimum of 3 hours to allow juices to thoroughly "cook" shrimp; stir occasionally. After 3 hours have elapsed, check shrimp for color—the shrimp should be pink and firm. If they are not quite there, refrigerate for 1 more hour.
After shrimp have finished "cooking," stir in radish, cucumber, onion, jalapeños and cilantro. Taste, adjust seasoning if necessary, and then divide evenly among 4–6 martini or wide-rimmed margarita glasses. Garnish with fresh cilantro sprigs and sweet potato or purple potato chips. Serve immediately or reserve in refrigerator for up to 1 hour.

Pinot Gris
An ancient natural mutation of Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris can vary dramatically in taste depending on where it is grown. In the Tre Venezie in Italy, where it is known as Pinot Grigio, it is often a simple, light, crisp wine. However, Italian Pinot Grigio shows little similarity to the majestic, lavish, sometimes spicy Pinot Gris of Alsace. The aromas of Pinot Gris suggest peach skins or orange rind. Pinot Grigio is currently the best-selling imported wine in the United States, and it's fun to say too!

Sauvignon/Fume Blanc
Sauvignon Blanc is taut, supple and herbal. With high acidity and aromas of tea, meadow and green herb, Sauvignon Blanc has a suitable name derived from the French "sauvage", meaning "wild".
