Shrimp Ceviche

Sometimes I just have a taste for something and eventhough, I know its going to be a stretch, I go for it anyway.  I think the key to ceviche is definitely the cilantro, lime, and in mine the avocado.  So this version was mising all those ingredients.  I had the obvious, the shrimp and I used a fill in of mandarin oranges to give the appetizer another dimension, but still there was a lot of flavor missing.  Dried parsley didnt do much but add color and citrus would have been nice.  I just didnt have the courage to add a splash of lemonade.  So the results were this- it didnt taste anything like ceviche, but that is ok, becasue sometimes a "knockoff" isnt going to work, but shrimp with mango and a touch of tobasco is good, or this  time, I will say, it is good enough.  That said, lets talk nutritional value.  On the good side, shrimp are low in saturated fat, high in calcium, high in iron, selenium, vitamin B12, protein.  On the not so good side, shrimp is high in cholesterol and sodium.  That is why it should be eaten in moderation. Added to my appetizer was mandarin oranges which are high in vitamin A and C. Vitamin A is a Beta carotene that promotes vision, and helps to nuetralize free radicals.  In otherwords, it fights off bad cells in our body.
