Spicy Mexican Ceviche

Last year I marveled at a chef demonstration when he so easily and quickly demonstrated homemade ceviche. Pathetically, I hadn’t realized that the seafood was “cooked” from the acidity of the citrus, nor that you could make it with anything other than shrimp (he used salmon)! This easy Mexican ceviche recipe goes a step further, using a cost-effective white fish, such as tilapia, and mixes things up with key lime juice!

The recipe and photo for this spicy Mexican ceviche were shared with us from the kitchens of Tabasco to dazzle for labor day parties, game night, and beyond. Ceviche is one of those naturally dairy-free recipes that is filled with flavor and a must-try for seafood fans.
