*Disclaimer - This recipe was originally published in 2014. I'm working hard to update all my older recipes with recipe cards, new photos, and additional recipe information. But, getting to all of them will take time. Please bear with me. In the meantime let me assure you that this recipe is still a winner and one I'm sure you'll be well pleased with when you make it at home.
If you're wondering what ceviche means, it means seafood that is "cooked" (marinated) in citrus juice.
It's mostly served as a salad and is always served cold. This shrimp ceviche dish is remarkably fresh, tasty, and loaded with healthy ingredients.
You can serve this as a main course over top of corn tostadas (as shown here), or as a dip served with tortilla chips as you would a salsa, or what about over some romaine lettuce (or your other favorite lettuce) as a salad with an additional squeeze of lemon or lime juice, and a drizzle of olive oil.
The choice is yours. I just urge you to try it. I know you'll enjoy it!
Save this for later.

*Note - this dish requires refrigeration time of approximately 2 hours in advance of serving in order to "cook" the shrimp in the citrus juice so please plan accordingly.

What a perfect recipe for this week's theme. I absolutely LOVE ceviche. It amazes me that you can actually use citrus to cook the seafood. I haven't made my own before, but now I'm inspired!

Lea Ann (Cooking On The Ranch) says
Years and years ago, when I first heard of and tried ceviche at home, I was sure the recipe was leading me astray and I went ahead and gently cooked the seafood. 🙂 There is simply nothing better than a good ceviche. And with those big chunks of avocado, and my sinful burger/hotdog ways of this past weekend, this will be on my dinner table tonight. Perfect to wind down the holiday weekend.
