Ceviche is usually made from raw shrimp or another type of white fish, tossed with chopped veggies, all marinated in lemon or lime juice. This recipe = NO COOKING NECESSARY and is only 25 minutes! The only thing that takes some time in this Ceviche recipe, is the chopping of the vegetables...but you can do that while you're "cooking" the shrimp.
Since ceviche is supposed to be made with raw fish, what do I mean by "cooking"? The answer is: placing the shrimp in lemon/lime juice and letting the acidic marinade “cook” the proteins and break them down so that it kills off the bacteria.
My ceviche had the following ingredients: avocado, cucumber, tomatoes, onion, and cilantro. Feel free to add or take away anything you want to make this recipe your own! If you make my Ceviche recipe, please let me know! Leave a comment or tag me on Instagram @thathangrygurl.
