Shrimp Ceviche
The shrimp is “cooked” by marinating in citrus juices, most commonly lime or lemon. The acidity of the citrus juice causes the proteins in the shrimp to denature. This gives it a cooked texture without using heat.
How to make Shrimp Ceviche
Besides the shrimp and citrus juice, Ceviche usually includes a mix of ingredients. These include diced tomatoes, onions, cilantro, and sometimes avocado. Other common additions are diced peppers (like jalapenos and habaneros) for a bit of heat. The dish is often seasoned with salt, pepper, cumin, and sometimes a splash of hot sauce.
The result is a zesty, bright, and tangy dish. It has a balance of freshness from the shrimp and the crispness of the vegetables. It’s often served chilled, making it an ideal appetizer or light meal, especially on warm days. #cookingshow #ceviche
