FAQS

  1. Can I use pre-cooked shrimp for this recipe?

    Shrimp ceviche is best consumed within 24 hours. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

  3. Can I make this dish spicier?

    Yes, you can add more green chili or even a dash of hot sauce to increase the spice level.

  4. What can I use as a substitute for cilantro?

    If you don't like cilantro, you can use parsley or omit it entirely.

  5. Is this dish safe for pregnant women?

    Since the shrimp is not cooked with heat, it is recommended to consult a doctor before consuming ceviche during pregnancy.
