Ingredients:

- Jumbo Raw Shrimp: Peeled & deveined
- salt
- black pepper
- baking soda: for cooking the shrimp
- red onion
- lime juice: fresh
- fresh garlic
- tomato sauce
- cilantro: fresh
- saltine crackers: to serve
How to make it:
Start by cutting the shrimp in half and cooking it until pink. Do not overcook it as it gets rubbery. Drain immediately.
Some people don’t like ceviche because of the amount of onions it has and if not done right, it has a strong flavor. But you can’t have ceviche without onions!
The trick is to soak them in cold water, with salt and lime juice for a few minutes before adding it to the rest of the dish.
Place all the ingredients in a bowl (reserve the cilantro), mix it, and keep it refrigerated until ready to serve.
Before serving, sprinkle some cilantro.
How to serve ceviche:
Each country has a favorite way to serve seviche. Usually is served in individual, small glasses, and in Colombia, this ceviche is served with saltine crackers.
Other ideas are:
- Plantain chips
- Tostones o patacones
- Tortilla chips
- Tostadas
Frequent questions:
Yes, you can. Place the shrimp and lime juice in a bowl, and let it sit in the refrigerator for an hour, or until shrimp turns pink. Then, add the rest of the ingredients and serve.
It keeps well in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days.

I've never had or made ceviche before. Sounds tasty! And I think the cracker is a good addition as well to break up the acidity of the dish.
