Florida Citrus Rock Shrimp Ceviche

I am a huge fan of seafood. Being land locked, I don’t have access to the fresh seafood that many of you guys in the coastal areas have so I take advantage of the sales as often as I can. You just can’t beat the taste and ease of preparation. When you pair seafood with the fresh taste of Florida citrus you have a can’t miss recipe. What’s even better is a recipe that doesn’t require any cooking. Yep…I am talking about a ceviche!

Today I thought I would share a fantastic recipe that is super simple to prepare – Florida Citrus Rock Shrimp Ceviche.

With the coupons and sales available at Publix you can put this one together at a great price. Since the citrus juice cures the shrimp you won’t be in the kitchen all day. With a little prep, you’ll have a fantastic dish waiting for you when you when you need it!

We have a great BOGO sale on shrimp in the upcoming Publix ad and that awesome Publix Digital coupon that will save you $1 on your purchase of Florida Orange Juice and a bag of Florida Grapefruit is still available to load!

FDOC grapefruitRemember every glass of Florida Orange Juice has the Amazing 5: taste, vitamin C, potassium, folate and no added sugar. One 8-ounce glass of Florida Orange Juice is a quick and easy way to get a serving of fruit and nutrients when on the go. No struggling to get your nutrition…that one glass provides a substantial number of nutrients per calorie, including vitamin C, potassium and folate!

Plus Florida Grapefruit is one of the most nutrient dense fruits per calorie. It’s high in vitamin C and vitamin A, while also delivering folate, potassium, and calcium. Florida Grapefruit is free from fat, cholesterol and sodium – making it a great addition to any diet or weight loss plan.
