You guys. It’s almost that time of year—the time of year when that thing happens on the TV. And everyone freaks out about it and gets super excited. It has something to do with football.

Oh yes, the Super Bowl. Well, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I’m not the biggest football fan. Although, I must say, since I watched all 5 seasons of Friday Night Lights in the past few months, I’ve developed a respect for the game. And Tim Riggins. For those of you who don’t know who Tim Riggins is, I’m sorry. He’s basically the most gorgeous man on earth. Anyways.

Let’s talk food. Football food. My friends (and Tasty Kitchen members) Three Many Cooks always have fun and tasty recipes, so when I came across a Shrimp Ceviche Dip with avocados, I knew I had to make it! (If this amazing dish sounds familiar, it’s because it was part of Pam’s Day of Deliciousness over at the ranch.)

Let’s get started, shall we?

 
 
 

Shrimp! Peeled, de-veined, and shells removed.

 
 
 

Throw them in a pot/pan of boiling water and cook them for a few minutes until they are cooked through.

 
 
 

Remove the shrimp from the skillet and lay them on a paper towel to absorb the water. I seasoned them a bit with some lime juice and salt just for good measure. It was the right thing to do!

 
 
 

Give them a rough chop, so they are cut into bite-sized pieces.

 
 
 

Chop up some cucumber too and throw the shrimp and cucumber into a bowl.

 
 
 

Next comes the avocado! Cut it into a similar size as the shrimp and cucumber and add it to the bowl.

 
 
 

Same with the green onions!

 
 
 

Once all that is in the bowl, add in some ketchup. If ketchup’s not your thang, you can totally use salsa instead. I made it both ways and both ways were delish! One tastes more like a tradition shrimp cocktail, and then other more of a Mexican ceviche.

 
 
 

Add some Tabasco sauce for kick. I used the chipotle Tabasco because it’s my all time fav!

 
 
 

I added a little extra because I wanted a kick.

 
 
 

Throw in some freshly squeezed lime juice and a touch of olive oil. Give it a good toss to combine. Taste it and adjust salt if you need more, and then it’s go time!

 
 
 

Serve it with your favorite tortilla chips and enjoy!

A huge thank you to Pam, Maggy, and Sharon from the incredible food blog Three Many Cooks for such a fun game day recipe!
