Notes
- Serve Chilled: Keep ceviche refrigerated until ready to serve for the freshest flavor. Use Fresh Shrimp: The freshest shrimp make the best ceviche; if using frozen, thaw thoroughly before starting. Chop Evenly: Dice the shrimp and veggies into uniform pieces for the best texture and presentation. Marinate Properly: Let the shrimp sit in the citrus juices for at least 30 minutes to "cook" fully in the acid.
