Mexican Shrimp Ceviche

The warm weather has arrived! You know what that means — time to make all the light, refreshing dishes and then head outside to enjoy them under the beautiful sunny skies and warm temperatures.

I am so ready to spend as much time as possible outside, and I think this Mexican Shrimp Ceviche recipe is the perfect way to kick off the warm weather season. You don’t even have to turn on the stove!

What is Ceviche?

Ceviche is a dish that is served cold and consists of a raw seafood that is “cooked” using an acidic marinade for anywhere from 20 minutes up to a few days. Ceviche has South American origins, but it has been a staple dish in Mexico for centuries.

Depending on the variety of ceviche, the seafood used may be:

  • Shrimp
  • Squid
  • Tuna
  • Mackerel
  • Oysters
  • and many more!

Mexican Shrimp Ceviche Recipe

Mexican Shrimp Ceviche

Mexican versions of ceviche use ingredients like avocado, cilantro, lime, and onion to lend a Mexican flair. This particular Mexican Shrimp Ceviche recipe is called “Aguachiles de Camarón,” which, translated literally, means “shrimp in chile water.”

Aguachiles de Camarón is a spicy ceviche that gets it flavor from ingredients like chile peppers, cilantro, and lime juice. It has a distinctively Mexican flavor and is my favorite type of ceviche!

How to Serve this Mexican Shrimp Ceviche Recipe

This recipe is best served with chips and an ice cold beer. Sunny patio with comfy outdoor furniture, good music, and good friends optional… but highly recommended!
