Fresh and Easy Ceviche: 2-Ways
This is sad to say, but my first experience eating ceviche was about six months ago when trying out a new Peruvian restaurant with a girlfriend. She ordered ceviche for the table and after having one bite, I was blown away! Why haven’t I had this before!? It seems like I was doing a disservice to my taste buds for not having it sooner!
So instead of dragging her to this restaurant to help translate that, “I need ceviche!”, I just make it at home! And you can, too! Ceviche is actually very easy to make.
Fresh and Easy Ceviche: 2-Ways - Salmon Mango and Spicy Jalapeno Shrimp Ceviche are tasty dishes that can be served over nachos, tostadas, avocado boats, or with chips!
This is sad to say, but my first experience eating ceviche was about six months when I was trying out a new Peruvian restaurant with a girlfriend. She ordered ceviche for the table and after having one bite, I was blown away! Why haven’t I had this before!? It seems like I was doing a disservice to my taste buds for not having it sooner!
So instead of dragging her to the restaurant every time I need translating: “I need ceviche!”, I just make it at home! And you can, too! Ceviche is actually very easy to make.
The ingredients for ceviche:
Raw fresh fish (snapper, sea bass, halibut, mahi-mahi, tilapia, shrimp, salmon, octopus)
Citrus juice (lemon, lime, oranges)
Salt
Add-ins: mango, red onion, avocado, cilantro, jalapeno, tomatoes
To show how easy it is to make ceviche, I have provided 2-ways that you can make ceviche as well as 3-ways to serve it. You can serve ceviche over nachos, tostadas, avocados or with chips; the possibilities are endless!
Ceviche pairs perfectly with a margarita or a Paloma, just saying! ;)
