What is the Best Way to Eat Shrimp Ceviche?

Our Favorite Things About This Delicious Shrimp Ceviche Recipe

• It Takes Just a Short Time to Make – This recipe takes just 25 minutes, start to finish! I love a good, quick meal.
• It Calls for Pre-Cooked Shrimp – Yes, you can make this recipe starting with fresh raw shrimp, but using pre cooked shrimp is the easiest way to go.
• The Fresh Vegetables are Refreshing – I love fresh veggies, and recipes like this are so refreshing, especially when the weather starts to heat up!
• Ceviche makes a great light meal, the perfect recipe for lunchtime or an appetizer.

Is This a Traditional Ceviche Recipe?

The traditional way of making this seafood dish is with raw fish, mostly white fish. While it does taste great with most white fish varieties (halibut, sea bass, etc), it also works well with shrimp and other shellfish. 

It is worth noting that classic fish ceviche is not necessarily keto-friendly, so be sure not to expect a low-carb dish if you are eating a store or restaurant-bought ceviche dish. A typical recipe would feature a large amount of orange juice, lime juice mixture, or other acidic citrus juices that are typically high in carbs.

Alterations That Can Be Made to This Shrimp Ceviche Recipe

​Maybe you don’t love shrimp, or maybe you don’t have all of these exact ingredients on hand. Either way, you can make a few changes to this recipe if you would like! Here are some of my favorites:

• Swap out the Shrimp. If you want a different protein, you can easily swap the shrimp out for a variety of white fish, such as halibut or sea bass.
• Hold the fresh cilantro. If you don’t happen to be a big fan of cilantro, just leave it out of the recipe. It tastes great with or without it.
• Spice it up with Serrano Chile peppers. If you like a good spice to your food, consider adding in some serrano chile peppers to kick your spice up a notch.
