1/2 cucumber, diced
1/2 small onion, diced
1 tomato, seeded and diced
2 tablespoons diced fresh cilantro
the juice of 1 lime
1/4 teaspoon cumin
salt and pepper to taste
2 packages frozen and defrosted phyllo cups
1. Combine defrosted and cooked shrimp in a large bowl with chopped onion, cucumber, tomato, cilantro, lime juice, cumin and salt and pepper. Let ceviche marinate at least 15 minutes.
2. Fill phyllo cups with shrimp ceviche and serve immediately.
Note: You can make ceviche ahead of time, but wait till the last minute to fill cups, because they might get soggy.
