Tips:
- Use the freshest seafood possible. If you can't get your hands on fresh shrimp, frozen shrimp will work in a pinch, but be sure to thaw them completely before using.
- Don't overcook the shrimp. Ceviche is a raw dish, so the shrimp should only be marinated for a short period of time, typically 30 minutes to 2 hours. Overcooking will make the shrimp tough and rubbery.
- Use a variety of citrus fruits. The traditional ceviche recipe uses limes, but you can also use lemons, oranges, or grapefruit. Experiment with different combinations of citrus fruits to find the flavor that you like best.
- Add other flavors to your ceviche. Common additions include cilantro, onions, tomatoes, cucumbers, and peppers. You can also add spices, such as chili peppers, cumin, or paprika.
- Serve ceviche chilled. Ceviche is best served cold, so be sure to chill it for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Conclusion:
Ceviche is a delicious and refreshing dish that is perfect for a summer party or a light lunch. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a new seafood recipe, give ceviche a try.
