Every time I make this dish I am transported right back to Mexico with these flavors!
I remember the first time I ever had Ceviche, I was maybe 18 years old and on a vacation with my mom in one of our favorite places Playa Del Carmen, Mexico. I remember the hotel was all-inclusive and had this lunch buffet (obviously pre-covid times here) that had the most wonderful ceviche. I was skeptical at first but WOW was it amazing. It was so light and refreshing but also creamy and spicy, I went back and refilled my plate about 4 times and could not get enough.
Fast forward to current times… I have been buying my seafood from Knowseafood for over a year now and I absolutely love this brand! The fish is so fresh and the fact that it’s sushi-grade and you know it was sustainably sourced is unbeatable. They have the most delicious shrimp that is so fresh and not fishy at all. I knew this would be the perfect brand to try my hand at making ceviche myself. The process involves “cooking” the fish through the citric acid from citrus juice and I was again skeptical on if I could really pull this off. I was so silly for thinking that because this dish was so easy to make, I was instantly transported back to Mexico.
Whether you serve this with tortilla chips or on a tostada or in a salad it is the perfect addition to any Taco Tuesday and you guys know how much I love that day! Let me know if you give it a try and make sure to check out my fav brands section to get a discount at KnowSeafood!
