Mexican Ceviche

About

Mexican Ceviche is a vibrant and refreshing dish that highlights the freshness of seafood, typically shrimp or fish, marinated in lime juice. This marinade not only adds flavor but also chemically "cooks" the seafood, making it appear opaque and firm. The dish is often enhanced with a variety of fresh ingredients such as diced tomatoes, onions, cilantro, cucumbers, and avocados, which add texture and flavor. Served chilled, Mexican Ceviche is commonly enjoyed as an appetizer or light meal, often accompanied by tortilla chips, tostadas, or saltines. The lime juice used in the marinade is crucial, as it provides the necessary acidity to "cook" the seafood without heat. This dish is a staple in Mexican cuisine, offering a healthy and flavorful option that is perfect for hot weather or social gatherings. Its versatility allows for regional variations, but the core concept remains the same: a refreshing, seafood-based dish with a zesty twist.
