Creating this incredible Peruvian Shrimp Ceviche is straightforward. Follow these steps for a successful dish:
1. Prep Shrimp: In a bowl, combine the peeled and deveined shrimp with lime juice. Make sure the shrimp are fully submerged to cook evenly.
2. Add Onions and Peppers: Once the shrimp starts turning opaque (about 30 minutes), add the thinly sliced red onion and chopped serrano peppers to enhance the flavor.
3. Mix in Cilantro and Tomato: Fold in the chopped cilantro and diced tomato gently. This will add freshness and a pop of color.
4. Season: Add salt and pepper to taste. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are coated in the lime juice.
5. Marinate: Allow the mixture to marinate for another 10 minutes to absorb flavors.
6. Serve: Present it in a chilled bowl or plate, along with side options such as corn or sweet potato for added texture.
Following these steps will lead to a refreshing and delicious dish that captures the essence of traditional Peruvian flavors.
