Easy Shrimp Ceviche

This delicious, Easy Shrimp Ceviche combines Shrimp, Avocados, Mangoes, Pineapple, and Jalapeno Peppers. It is simple and easy to make. Do you love Shrimp Ceviche yet hate waiting for the lime juice to cook it? I have a simple cure for that. This Easy Shrimp Ceviche recipe has all the flavors yet none of the long wait times. It looks stunning in a wine glass, champagne glass, martini glass, or a South American vibe using a Margarita glass.

Ceviche is marinated in a citrus-based mixture, with lemons and limes being the most commonly used in the recipe. In addition to adding a citrus flavor, the citric acid causes the seafood’s proteins to appear cooked. The traditional-style ceviche was marinated for about three hours.

Ceviche is a trendy seafood dish in the coastal regions of Latin America. Ceviche is typically made from fresh raw fish cured in lemon or lime juice and spiced with ají or chili peppers. Additional seasonings, such as chopped onions, salt, and cilantro, may also be added.

Since the 80s, Ceviche has become a trendy international dish prepared in various ways throughout The United States. Peru, Colombia, and Ecuador have the widest variety of ceviches. Other distinctly unique styles can also be found in coastal Honduras, El Salvador, Belize, Guatemala, the United States, Mexico, Panama, and the Caribbean.

Below, you will find my simplified version of Shrimp Ceviche, which also eliminates the chance of any bacteria forming due to improper processing of the traditional cooking method used in the past. Since acid marinades will not kill bacteria or parasitic worms, I have eliminated that process, unlike cooking heat.
