I'M MELTING!!!!...Cool no cook Red Snapper Ceviche...

Holy heat Batman! I don't know about you, but this week sucked!! Between the 3 digit temperatures and outages(oh yeah, a transformer blew on my street so we were with out electricity for 2 days..it was terrible!)
there was no way on God's green earth I was going to even attempt something as crazy as "COOKING" in this unbearable heat...The good news is I have an arsenal of "no-cook" dishes perfect for weather like this...
  My son Conrad absolutely loves Ceviche!... Particularly Red Snapper Ceviche. When he was around 7 he went through a Cevieche phase and that summer he had it at least twice a week for 3 months!!. We would head over to the Atlantic Seafood Company in Lynn and he would pick out the snapper of his choice and they would scale it and take the bones out so all I really had to do was dice it and throw it in a little lemon lime and orange juice toss with a few herbs and veggies chill for an hour...and Presto!...dinner was served. This is seriously the EASIEST meal to make and the best part is your house won't smell like fish! Red Snapper is everywhere and it's on sale!! So I would recommend grabbing a pound or two and getting your Ceviche on!.
This recipe is enough to serve 4 . Spin up a fresh batch of frozen Margaritas and you have a fresh ,exciting, healthy ,light, impressive ,and inexpensive meal!

Red Snapper Ceviche
1 lb. red snapper fillets(diced)             1tbsp finely diced jalapenos
juice from 2 lemons                          1/4 cup thinly sliced red onions
juice from 2 limes                              1/4cup finely diced yellow peppers

1/2 tsp sea salt/ pepper                      1/4 cup fresh cilantro coarsely chopped
1 tbps olive oil

In a large bowl mix snapper , juices, jalapenos, peppers, onions, sea salt ,pepper and cumin.
Refrigerate for 30 minutes. Toss in cilantro and olive oil and serve...stay cool my friends!
