Ceviche is a seafood dish made from fresh raw fish and cured in lemon or lime juice. Over the course of a few hours the citrus juice will begin to “cook” the seafood without the use of a heat source.

Our Shrimp Ceviche recipe is a SHORTCUT version of the typical ceviche preparation and therefore calls for cooking and then immediately cooling the shrimp in an ice bath. In doing this preparation the seafood is not served raw and can be made within minutes rather than hours.
