Interesting Facts
Ceviche is a traditional Latin American dish that typically consists of raw fish or seafood marinated in citrus juices.
This remix recipe substitutes cooked shrimp for raw fish, making it a safer option for those concerned about consuming raw seafood.
The acidity from the lime and lemon juice in ceviche actually 'cooks' the shrimp, giving it a firm texture and a zesty flavor.
