Shrimp Ceviche
Shrimp Ceviche

Shrimp Ceviche is something you will see throughout Mexico, especially the coastal towns like Cabo San Lucas, Cancun, and Puerto Vallarta. That poolside menu always has a great ceviche on it served with lots of chips for scooping up the deliciousness. This takes me back to my last time in Cabo when we made Ceviche and ordered it poolside. My friends I visited always make Ceviche while I’m there. It’s always a treat because you can get such fresh seafood.

This Ceviche is with shrimp but other common fish are scallops, halibut, red snapper, flounder, or swordfish. You want to use the absolute freshest ingredients you can get. Freshest fish and freshest vegetables are a must. The fish is actually cooked by the lime juice.

Other than fresh fish and lime juice the authentic recipe has jalapeno, red onions, cucumbers, tomatoes, cilantro, avocados, seasoning like salt and pepper and sometimes some pequin chile. Then they add Clamata juice. I think the Clamata is the difference that probably what we may have had in the US. If you can’t find the pequin chile, here is a link:https://amzn.to/2Fb9Rl0

You don’t use much, so you could use the red pepper flakes that you can buy in a jar like you put it on pizza. This is what Clamata Juice looks like if you aren’t familiar with it: https://amzn.to/3bxZBPO

You can eat this with a bowl of tortilla chips, or you can slather mayonnaise on a tostado, then top it with the shrimp ceviche, like this:
