Shrimp Ceviche Recipe
A gorgeous and refreshing dish, shrimp ceviche is an appetizer that is sure to please!
The delicious crispness of the bell peppers, the acidity of the citrus fruits, plus the sweet taste of shrimp straight from the oceans creates a crowd pleasing dish.
While you can eat it immediately, giving the ceviche some time to marinade and penetrate all the ingredients will create a better flavor.
Remember to use wild caught, organic shrimp since the chemicals gone in to rear farmed shrimp makes for not only unhealthy, but mushy and flavorless shellfish.
You should also pay special attention to sourcing organic citrus fruits, as this recipe calls for the zest, which is where those pesky pesticides and fungicides would hang out.
Bring it to barbecues or to your next fancy dinner party!
