Served as a cold soup, appetizer or snack, this is an outstanding combination in one recipe! I could eat it three times a day! Think of the number of vegetable servings in one dish! Highly recommended.

Ceviche is raw shrimp, cooked with lime juice. If you leave it in overnite the shrimp become pink. Add serrano chiles if you want it hottter...

I use half V8 and Clamato and add a bit of orange soda for kick, with ketchup. We eat ours with saltines and mayonesa.

Family secret: instead of the Clamato or V-8... Add orange Fanta, shrimp broth and ketchup. Fix to taste. Enjoy!

Try adding 1/4 c. catsup, 1 package crab meat and 3 avacado's diced to this recipe, it turns out wonderful! Serve on crispy tortilla shells. I call it ceviche.
