A real crowd pleaser
This has become a staple recipe for my husband and I. Beth's ceviche is so refreshing and delightful in the warmer months. Sometimes I switch it up and use bay shrimps instead of the larger ones but otherwise, I stick pretty much to this recipe. I love, love, love the flavors! This is one more recipe that reminds me how much I love real food...and get to enjoy it. I keep forgetting to take photos of my finished product but trust me, it is well-worth making. Just remember to make plenty. Everyone will devour it!
This is an amazing review. Thanks so much Deborah!! I'm so glad you enjoy it.
Wanted to drop a note to say thanks for the inspiration! This made a great alternative to my usual tuna salad + plantain chips. Based on what I tolerate I made a shrimp salad with cilantro, red onion, shredded daikon, and celery. Amazing! Love the creativity!
That's wonderful. Glad you mixed up your routine with this recipe. This is one of my husbands favorites!
