If you’ve ever treated yourself to a balmy beach vacation in the Yucatan peninsula, this fresh, light and cool seafood salad will transport you back to paradise. A traditional dish of Peru, as well as a favorite in coastal towns in Mexico and Ecuador, this seafood salad is traditionally “cooked” in lime juice. The acid in the lime juice breaks down the protein in the fish resulting in a firm, cooked texture. We opted to poach our version fish to ensure food safety and reduce cooking time. Serve well chilled with Henry's Yellow Corn Chips for the perfect appetizer. And don’t forget the margaritas!

Simmer (do not boil) for about 2 minutes (until the fish turns opaque), then add the shrimp and simmer 1 to 2 minutes longer (until the shrimp turns pink). Drain, place in a bowl and refrigerate until cold, about 2 hours. In the meantime, mix together tomatoes, onion, jalapeño, lime juice, lime zest and cilantro.
