Shrimp Ceviche Recipe

Pasquale Sciarappa
Today I am sharing with you my delicious ceviche recipe! This is a perfect recipe for the summer months served cold. This recipe can be prepared two different ways. One way is to "cook" the raw shrimp in the acidity of the lime juice and the second way is to partially cook the shrimp in boiling water and then finish cooking it in the lime juice.
