Join Chef Jason for a lively and flavorful culinary experience where bold ingredients and simple techniques come together to create two classic favorites: guacamole and shrimp ceviche.
Ceviche is a refreshing and zesty dish made by marinating shrimp in citrus juice, allowing the acidity to "cook" the seafood to perfection. Chef Jason will guide you through the process, sharing his favorite ingredient combinations and expert tips to achieve the perfect balance of flavor and texture. With a vibrant mix of diced onions, chopped tomatoes, cilantro, jalapeños, and a few signature add-ins, this ceviche is as fun to make as it is to eat.
And no gathering is complete without guacamole! Learn how to craft a creamy, crave-worthy version of this crowd-pleasing dip using fresh, high-quality ingredients.
In addition to mastering these two delicious dishes, Chef Jason will lead a focused lesson on knife skills and kitchen safety—essential techniques that will boost your confidence and efficiency in the kitchen.
This hands-on class is perfect for food lovers looking to elevate their appetizer game—whether you're hosting a backyard BBQ, a wine night with friends, or simply treating yourself to bold, coastal-inspired bites. Come ready to chop, mix, and celebrate the bright, fresh flavors of guac and ceviche with Chef Jason!
