Coconut Shrimp Ceviche

Coconut Shrimp Ceviche is a refreshing and flavorful dish that is perfect for a summer party or potluck. The shrimp is marinated in a coconut milk, lime juice, red onion, cilantro, salt, pepper, and chili powder mixture, which gives it a slightly sweet and spicy flavor. The ceviche is served chilled, garnished with additional cilantro and lime wedges.

Ceviche is a traditional Latin American dish that is made with raw fish or seafood that is marinated in a citrus juice, such as lime or lemon juice. The acid in the citrus juice cooks the fish or seafood, resulting in a firm and slightly opaque texture. Ceviche is often served with a variety of accompaniments, such as onions, tomatoes, cilantro, and chili peppers.
