This shrimp ceviche recipe is traditional to the beach town of Acapulco, Mexico. Unlike versions calling for raw fish, this ceviche starts with small pre-cooked shrimp, making it an ideal starter recipe for a ceviche novice. The key to any ceviche is the acid. In this case, it comes from the juice of 10 limes! Combine this lime juice with onion, parsley, cilantro, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, serrano peppers, pickled jalapenos, and just a dash of sugar for balance. The shrimp is tossed in this flavorful blend, covered and refrigerate until ready to serve. Serve with chopped fresh tomatoes for a beautiful burst of color!

I absolutely love ceviche, but this was my first time preparing it. It's definitely one of my favorite snacks to make, especially in the summer. This is the perfect dish for entertaining guests or to bring to a potluck. This recipe was really easy and flavorful. My new favorite!

I love ceviche, but I never thought to add Worcestershire sauce to it. Maybe I thought it felt too Bloody Mary like. I really enjoyed it. However, I did add some lime "cooked" bay scallops and cooked dungeness crab to the mix. Ceviche is usually the easiest snack I make to date.
