Coconut Shrimp Ceviche
Coconut shrimp ceviche is a refreshing and flavorful dish that is perfect for a summer party or gathering. The shrimp is marinated in a mixture of coconut milk, lime juice, and spices, then combined with chopped red onion, cilantro, jalapeño pepper, mango, and pineapple. The result is a ceviche that is both sweet and savory, with a hint of spice. Serve the ceviche immediately after making it, or chill it for later.
Ceviche is a traditional Latin American dish that is made by marinating raw fish or seafood in a citrus juice, such as lime or lemon juice. The acid in the citrus juice cooks the seafood, resulting in a dish that is both flavorful and refreshing. Coconut shrimp ceviche is a variation on the traditional ceviche recipe that uses coconut milk in addition to lime juice. The coconut milk adds a creamy and rich flavor to the ceviche, and it also helps to tenderize the shrimp. This recipe for coconut shrimp ceviche is inspired by the flavors of the Caribbean. The combination of coconut milk, lime juice, and spices creates a ceviche that is both tropical and flavorful.
