A few years ago, I got together with a couple of my old coworkers at a local southwestern restaurant to catch up over lunch. That's where I was first introduced to ceviche. If you're unfamiliar with ceviche, it's a seafood appetizer that's typically made with raw fish. The fish is marinaded in lemon or lime juice. The acidity from the citrus juice cooks the fish and adds a nice flavor.
During a recent visit downtown, I walked passed that same restaurant and was reminded of the tuna ceviche dish that we had shared. I immediately thought about making my own version of ceviche with shrimp. Instead of serving it with rice or chips, I wanted to spoon the shrimp ceviche into Pepperidge Farm® Puff Pastry cups to make a fun, handheld appetizer.
This simple ceviche recipe would make a delicious springtime or summer appetizer. The morning I made these cups, I precooked the shrimp and chilled them in the fridge until I used them that afternoon. Of course, you could buy precooked shrimp and save yourself a step.
You'll need a standard muffin tin to make the Puff Pastry cups. Turn the muffin tin over and spray it with non-stick cooking spray. Using the underside of the muffin tin creates a perfect cup shape for the dough. As it bakes in the oven, it gets flaky and golden brown making it a perfect, edible cup for the shrimp ceviche.
Shrimp Ceviche Cups
Ingredients
- 1/2 lb. - 1 lb. large shrimp cooked and chopped
- 1 jalapeno chopped

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400º. Spray the bottom of a muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.
- Unfold the Puff Pastry Sheet and roll it out so it's slightly larger than it was.
- Cut the Puff Pastry Sheet into six squares.
- Place each Puff Pastry Sheet square on top of each muffin tin cup creating a bowl.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until Puff Pastry is flaky and golden brown.
- While the Puff Pastry Sheet squares are baking, prepare the ceviche.
- Add chopped shrimp, jalapeno, onion, tomatoes, and avocado into a medium bowl.
- Stir in the lime juice and add salt to season.
- Chill the ceviche until the Puff Pastry cups are cool.
- Then, fill each cup with ceviche.
