User Comments:
- "This ceviche is absolutely delicious! It's so fresh and flavorful, and the shrimp is perfectly cooked."
- "I love the combination of the different fruits and vegetables in this ceviche. It's so refreshing and healthy."
- "I've never had ceviche before, but I'm definitely a fan now. This was a great introduction."
Special Precautions and Tips:
- Use very fresh shrimp to ensure the best flavor and texture.
- Do not overcook the shrimp when marinating. The lime juice will "cook" them slightly.
- If you don't have fresh lime juice, you can use bottled lime juice. However, the flavor will not be as bright.
- For a spicier ceviche, add more jalapeño pepper.
- Ceviche can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
