Notes
Make-Ahead Tips: This ceviche can be made a few hours ahead and kept in the refrigerator until ready to serve.Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The shrimp may lose some texture as it sits.Customization Ideas: Add diced avocado or chopped tomatoes for extra texture and flavor. Stir in chopped jalapeño or serrano pepper for a spicy kick.Serving Suggestions: Serve with tortilla chips, tostadas, or over a crisp lettuce bed for a refreshing appetizer or light meal.Balancing Acidity: If the lime juice tastes too tangy, add a small splash of orange juice to mellow the acidity and bring in a hint of sweetness.
