On the coasts of Colombia, tropical dishes are mainly consumed by tourists, and among these you can find a great variety of ceviches or cebiches, such as this Colombian shrimp ceviche.

From the most common, which is fish, octopus ceviche, and shrimp, this recipe is really very simple, cheap, and easy to make, because with little time you can have a tropical dish from the comfort of your home.

Colombian Style Shrimp Ceviche

This ceviche is made with cooked shrimp, making this recipe come together quickly.

It is light, fresh, with a nice boost from Texas Pete® Original Hot Sauce that brings the perfect balance of bold flavors and heat to this Latin-American appetizer.

This shrimp ceviche is great as an appetizer for 5 to 6 people, or as a meatless dinner for 4.

Ingredients:

ingredients for shrimp ceviche
  • Texas Pete® Original Hot Sauce: Sauce Like You Mean It™ 😉 with the Original variety or even spicier with their Texas Pete® Hotter Hot Sauce
  • 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.

    I had ceviche for the first time a few weeks ago (bought from Sam's Club) and enjoyed it very much. This recipe was the first time I made it on my own and it was simple, quick and tasted wonderful.

    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.
