**Ceviche: A Refreshing and Flavorful Latin American Dish**
Ceviche is a traditional Latin American dish that originated in Peru. It is a seafood dish made from fresh raw fish or shellfish that is marinated in a citrus-based sauce, typically made with lime juice, and seasoned with various herbs, spices, and vegetables. Ceviche is typically served cold, either as an appetizer or a main course. The acid in the citrus juice "cooks" the fish or shellfish, giving it a firm, opaque texture. The most common types of fish used for ceviche are tilapia, sea bass, halibut, and shrimp. Ceviche is often served with side dishes such as avocado, tomato, cilantro, onion, and cancha (toasted corn nuts). In this article, we will provide recipes for three variations of ceviche: Classic Ceviche, Ceviche with Avocado, Tomato, and Cilantro, and Shrimp Ceviche. Each recipe includes step-by-step instructions and a list of the necessary ingredients. So, gather your ingredients and get ready to embark on a culinary journey to the vibrant flavors of Latin America!

AVOCADO SHRIMP CEVICHE-ESTILLO SARITA
A tried and true ceviche recipe to be enjoyed for a Sunday brunch in our cafe. It is believed by most Latinos that the best time to eat ceviche is on a sunny day. Rainy days cause stomach cramps and nightmares. Of course most Latinos (especially my wife) can make a good ceviche blindfolded on any day rain or shine, in my opinion. Excellent for an appetizer in smaller portions or as a meal itself. Personally I enjoy this with an ice cold beer on the side.

Steps:
- Place the shrimp and lime juice into a large bowl, and stir to coat. Let stand for about 5 minutes, or until shrimp are opaque. The lime juice will cook them. Mix in the tomatoes, onion, and cilantro until coated with lime juice; cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Remove from the refrigerator, and mix in the Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, hot sauce, salt and pepper. We have our own hot sauce recipe, but you can use whatever hot sauce you like, or leave it out and let people add their own when serving.
- Serve in glass tumblers and top with avocado pieces. Set out extra Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, lime wedges and hot sauce for people to individualize their dish. Serve with saltine crackers.

Tips:
- Select the freshest fish possible. The quality of the fish is paramount in ceviche, so make sure to use the freshest fish you can find. Look for fish that is bright in color and has a mild, briny smell.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the fish. This will help to prevent the fish from tearing and will give you clean, even pieces.
- Marinate the fish in citrus juice for at least 30 minutes. This will help to cook the fish and give it a bright, acidic flavor.
- Add your favorite vegetables and herbs to the ceviche. Common additions include avocado, tomato, cilantro, red onion, and jalapeño.
- Season the ceviche to taste. Add salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings to taste.
- Serve the ceviche immediately. Ceviche is best served fresh, so don't let it sit for too long before eating.
Conclusion:
Ceviche is a refreshing and flavorful dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you are looking for a light and healthy meal, give ceviche a try!
