Ceviche is easy, fresh, and the perfect light summer treat!
It’s packed full of tangy citrus flavor with bits of crunch from onion and peppers.
You can make it as mild or spicy as you like. If you like a spicy ceviche recipe, leave the seeds and veins in the jalapeno or add more.
Now picture yourself chilling in the shade with a bowl of cool and refreshing ceviche in one hand and a Honeydew Margarita in the other.
Fresh shrimp ceviche and an icy margarita sounds like a pretty good day to me.
How To Make This Ceviche Recipe
Chop all ingredients, juice the limes, lemons, and oranges.
Mix the citrus juices with the ingredients and refrigerate for 1 1/2 hours to 2 hours. Don’t sweat it, the citrus juices cook the shrimp and fish.
See the shrimp is pink and fish is solid white!
Enjoy this perfect crisp and refreshing ceviche recipe during those hot summer days! Serve with tortilla chips or just straight up.
You can also prepare this dish for your friends!
This is a perfect dish to serve at parties or get-togethers. It comes together so fast and is so fresh and delicious. Enjoy!

July 18, 2016I have never made ceviche, when I was younger I thought that the seafood wasn’t cooked through and I wouldn’t even try it. Now I love it. I have no idea why I’ve never made it, it’s right up my tastebud’s alley! I’ve pinned, stumbled and yummed, I am determined to try this, it looks gorgeous!
DSTR
July 18, 2016Thank you, Nikki! It’s so easy you will wonder why you never made it before. 😉

September 11, 2017My fiancé and I just tried this recipe for the first time and loved it! We used rockfish (instead of cod) and substituted half of the oj with Silver Tequila! Nice twist!! Thanks for the awesome recipe!

Ana
June 2, 2018Hi Leigh,
This is the second time i try this recipe and for some reason the ceviche keeps coming out super bitter :(. What am i doing wrong? I substituted the cod and shrimp for corvina and flounder. Any suggestions on how to fix it?
DSTR
June 3, 2018Hey, Ana. Make sure you aren’t squeezing the citrus fruit too much. See this article https://lifehacker.com/stop-trying-to-squeeze-out-all-the-lime-juice-over-squ-1737604623. I hope this helps. Thanks so much for coming by!
Sarah R
July 3, 2018Would juicing the citrus work or would that make it too bitter?
DSTR
July 4, 2018Hi, Sarah. The citrus is to be juiced when making this recipe. Thanks so much for coming by!
Lucie
July 8, 2018How long can we prepare it in advance?
DSTR
July 9, 2018Hi, Lucie! Ceviche is really not a make-ahead type dish. You can do all the prep work ahead, like juicing the citrus and chopping the ingredients. Then toss the ingredients with the citrus juices about 1 1/2 to 2 hours before serving. Thank you so much for coming by!
