The very first time I tried shrimp ceviche, I was in a little Mexican restaurant. I was a bit skeptical at first, but one bite of salmon ceviche, and I fell in love. Ceviche is kind of a seafood salad, usually with onions, tomatoes, avocado, cilantro, and lime juice which essentially 'cooks' the seafood. It’s so full of flavor, so fresh and totally customizable. This shrimp ceviche recipe is versatile, delicious, and perfect for sharing....

FAQS
Can I use cooked shrimp for this recipe?
While raw shrimp is traditionally used for ceviche, you can use cooked shrimp if you prefer. However, the lime juice won't 'cook' the shrimp as it does with raw shrimp.
How long can I store shrimp ceviche in the fridge?
Shrimp ceviche is best consumed within 24 hours of preparation for optimal freshness and flavor.
Can I make this recipe spicy?
Yes, you can adjust the spice level by adding more jalapeno or including chili flakes.
What other seafood can I use for ceviche?
You can use semi-firm fish like sea bass or grouper. Avoid oily fish like tuna or bluefish and freshwater fish like catfish.
Can I add other ingredients to this recipe?
Absolutely! Ingredients like mango, cucumber, or cilantro can be added to enhance the flavor.
