HCG Diet Recipe - SHRIMP CEVICHE

The HCG Diet is a physician supervised plan offered at transformyou. It has allowed hundreds of our patients to reach their weight loss goals in a shorter time frame than conventional “dieting.”

As part of the HCG Diet, a 500-calorie a day diet is followed. Might sound daunting to some, right? Well, at transformyou, it’s not. You are never left alone when you do any HCG diet through transformyou. HCG patients receive weekly emails with tips and tricks to successful weight loss. Patients can schedule free weekly office visits and B12 shots, both geared towards increasing mood and accountability, and checking in on your progress. We also try to make the 500-calorie part of the diet as easy and as diverse for you as possible by offering recipes that fit the HCG diet.

Here is one of those tasty recipes:

1 to 2 lbs. shrimp, fresh or frozen, raw or cooked, peeled and deveined, tail-on or off

2 large lemons, freshly squeezed, about 3/4 cup to 1 cup

2-3 large limes, freshly squeezed, about 3/4 cup to 1 cup

1 tablespoon fresh garlic, minced

1 cubanel or other mild to medium pepper, ribs and seeds removed, finely chopped

1 red onion, finely chopped (about 1 cup)

1-3 tablespoons Tabasco or hot sauce (more or less to taste)

4 large tomatoes, chopped (about 2-3 cups)

2 cumbers, peeled and diced into 1/2 inch pieces (about 1.5 cups)

fresh cilantro, chopped (about 1/2 cup)

fresh parsley, chopped (about 1/2 cup)

sea salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste

Thaw shrimp if frozen. If using raw shrimp, bring a pot of water to boil and cook the shrimp for a minute or two until it turns opaque white and reddish—do not over cook the shrimp as it will be too rubbery in texture. Rinse shrimp under cold water. Combine juices of lemons and limes in a large bowl (not metal) or large Ziploc baggie and add shrimp. Cover bowl or zip baggie and refrigerate for 30 minutes to marinade. Large shrimp could be cut into smaller chunks (remove tails if doing this) to speed up marinade time.

Add to shrimp the Tabasco, garlic, onion and pepper and toss/mix evenly. Return to refrigerator for maybe another 30 minutes to let the flavors infuse the shrimp.

Before serving, toss in bowl the marinated shrimp mixture, cilantro, parsley, tomatoes and cucumbers and if needed, add sea salt and black pepper to taste.

Great with melba toast or Wasa crispbread cracker. Thank you to Randa Saleh for this great hCG Diet recipe!
