Notes: Frequently Asked Questions: Can I use other types of seafood in this ceviche recipe?
Yes, you can substitute or add other types of seafood like fish, scallops, or squid. Make sure to use fresh, high-quality seafood and cut it into small, even pieces to ensure even cooking with the lime juice.
What type of shrimp should I use for ceviche?
Use fresh, raw, deveined shrimp for the best results. Make sure the shrimp is properly cleaned and stored at a safe temperature to ensure food safety.
You can also use frozen shrimp, but make sure to thaw it properly before using it in the recipe.
How long should the shrimp be marinated in the lime juice?
The shrimp should be marinated in lime juice for about 1 hour, or until it turns pinkish and opaque.
The lime juice’s acidity cooks the shrimp, so it’s important to ensure they are fully cooked before consuming.
How can I tell when the shrimp is fully “cooked” by the lime juice?
The shrimp will change from a translucent gray color to a pinkish, opaque color when it’s fully “cooked” by the lime juice.
Make sure the shrimp is completely covered by the lime juice and allow it to marinate for about 1 hour or until the color change is evident.
How should I serve ceviche?
Ceviche is typically served chilled on a tostada or with tortilla chips for scooping. You can also serve it in a lettuce cup, with crackers, or as a salad topping.
Feel free to add your favorite hot sauce, such as Tapatío, for added flavor and heat.
