Summer Ceviche

Aileen Foos
This recipe is a refreshing take on a mexican version of Ceviche. It's so refreshing to eat in the summer on hot days and makes for a perfect snack or meal all by itself. Eat with chips and drink with a nice cold margarita you will not regret it in the least.

Notes

Here are some things I've learned about making this recipe. It's easier to chop the shrimp frozen however the juices don't soak in as well. The best thing is to eat some the first day and then it always tastes better the second day. I love to use extra lemon and salt in this recipe so be liberal with what makes sense to you. It's always fun to place it in something fun like this bowlThis recipe is such a great meal to have no matter what you are doing in the summer.
