As we are cutting weight getting ready for a fight we limit our calories. This is a big issue with allot of fighters. They end up eating the same thing every night. Chicken one night, and fish the next get kind of boring.

Just because you have you loose 30lbs in a month doesn't mean that you can't do it with style. From BBQ chicken sandwiches, turkey bacon BLT's, to Shrimp Ceviche a little bit of imagination can to a long way with a starving MMA fighter.

Ingredients

• 1 pounds of uncooked shrimp
• 1 large red onion
• 3 medium tomatoes
• 2 fresh squeezed oranges
• 2 fresh squeezed lemons
• 2 fresh squeezed limes
• 3 tablespoons of ketchup
• 1 tablespoon horse radish
• 2 jalapenos
• 1/2 bushel of fresh chopped cilantro
• 1/2 cup of your favorite salsa
• 1 tablespoon garlic salt
• Pepper to taste

Method

• Boil water with salt and pepper in a pan. After it boils, add shrimp. Let it boil for 3 minutes (or until shrimp becomes lightly red) and remove from heat, drain, and place shrimp in the refrigerator.
• Mince the onion and jalapenos.
• Cube the tomatoes into small squares.
• In a large bowl, mix the onion, tomatoes, jalapenos, orange, lime and lemon juice, ketchup, horse radish cilantro, garlic salt and pepper. Once the shrimp has cooled, add shrimp and mix.
• Let sit for about 30 minutes in the fridge

Serve with crackers, and cerveza (if you are not cutting). Use it as an appetizer, or eat it out of a bowl with a spoon.

Not quite ceviche... but looks good, I suppose the the lack of carbs is what makes it suitable for cutting?

I think I'm gonna try and make it, but just to troll Tim, I'm gonna wrap the shrimp in bacon and fry the fuck out of everything.

Looks Good!
Very Ecuadorian Ceviche! :)

I like it raw just marinated in lime juice, but yours would be great when you forget to marinate it for 3 hours!

Great recipe Tim. I would omit the ketchup in exchange for Sriracha Sauce and exchange the salsa for half a can of Spicy V8 Low Sodium. Add one diced avocado.

I agree completely. Sriracha and avocado are staples in my home.

Kennedy. No. If it wasn't for the fact that you are a much, much better fighter than me I would slap you silly for this. This sir, is NOT Ceviche. Drop the cooking the prawns and the ketchup and you are getting warmer.

Ceviche is raw, but this is still great. I want to try this as I am in the process of losing weight for a tournament. My high protein diet, while not bad, could use some variety. Thx
