Discover the Delight of Homemade Shrimp Ceviche
This refreshing and flavorful recipe is perfect for any occasion, whether it's a casual get-together or a special celebration. Easy to prepare and bursting with vibrant flavors, shrimp ceviche is sure to become a favorite during hot months as it is for many Latin households!
To start, finely chop the shrimp into smaller pieces and cover them with lime juice. Allow the mixture to marinate in the refrigerator for about an hour. This crucial step not only infuses the shrimp with zesty lime flavor but also "cooks" the shrimp through the acid in the lime juice. Once marinated, it's time to add the ingredients that bring this dish to life. Incorporate classic elements of the Mexican flag: chile, tomato, and onion, along with refreshing cucumber. Sprinkle in some cilantro, and add clamato juice, the juice of two limes, and salt and pepper to taste. To give it an authentic touch, include a Sonoran favorite, Chiltepines. Mix everything lovingly, and your shrimp ceviche is ready to serve.
Not only is shrimp ceviche a delight, but it’s also a great conversation starter that brings back fond memories of past gatherings.
