Mexican Ceviche image

This dish is a regular served on the beaches of Mexico. Serve it as a seafood appetizer or as a side salad dish. You can alter it to suit your own taste. Make it as spicy or as mild as you wish. My friends all love it. I often use shrimp & fish or shrimp & scallops - when I do this I do not marinate the shrimp as the shrimp tend to get tough. I steam the shrimp and add them a few hours before serving as I mix all the ingredients together. In Mexico when they make this they often add sea water (not recommened). If you are using frozen fish, choose a firm-fleshed fish and make sure it is fully thawed with as much moisture as possible removed.

I'm not a fan of seafood, but I tried this ceviche and it was delicious! The shrimp was cooked perfectly and the marinade was flavorful without being overpowering. I would definitely make this again.

I love this ceviche recipe! It's so easy to make and always turns out perfect. I like to add a little extra cilantro and jalapeño for some extra spice. It's the perfect summer dish.

This ceviche was easy to make and turned out great! I used tilapia instead of shrimp and it was still delicious. I served it with chips and salsa and it was a perfect appetizer.
