TV Food: Blue Crystal Margarita; Shrimp and Mango Ceviche (Breaking Bad, S05)

In celebrating the series finale of Breaking Bad, I made 5 meals to represent the 5 seasons of the epic series.

SEASON 5- DRINKS

Ice Blue

We've come to the end of the series. Adios, Breaking Bad!

There are probably hundreds of cocktails dedicated to the show by now but it seems appropriate to end this tribute with one. "The unpredictable becomes predictable". Margaritas or any tequila based drink is good with any sour and spicy appetizer or basically any Mexican dish. I paired this drink with Shrimp and Mango ceviche.


For the Margarita:

Ice cubes
3 ounces tequila
2 ounces lime juice
1 ounces simple syrup
2 ounce blue curacao
blue salt

For the ceviche:

1/2 lb shrimp, shelled and deveined
1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
3 tbsp cilantro, chopped
1/2 cup mango, diced
3 tbsp lime juice
1/2 cup tomato, chopped and seeded
1/2 cup jalapeno peppers, finely chopped
purple cabbage for the vessel
salt to taste

Dip rim of cocktail glass in blue salt.
Shake tequila, blue curacao and lime juice with ice. Strain into the salt-rimmed glass and serve.

Chop shrimp into small pieces, about 1/2 inch. Combine with the rest of the ingredients and season with salt. Cover and chill until cold and serve in the cabbage cups.
