Oh you poor deprived child. http://www.cevicherecipe.org/The classic one is with shrimp
Contains shrimp, limes, orange juice, tomatoes & more - absolutely delicious. Viva Quito!
Serves 4-6
Ingredients:
2 pounds of shrimp
1 large red onion 3 medium tomatoes
3 cups of fresh orange juice (preferably use sour oranges or you can use Tropicana pure natural orange juice with no pulp)
1 cup of lemon juice (fresh squeezed lemons)
3 tablespoons of ketchup
1 tablespoon of mustard
1 tablespoon of fresh chopped cilantro or parsley
2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Preparation:
Boil water salt and pepper in a pan. After it boils, add shrimp. Let it boil for 3 minutes (or until shrimp becomes lightly red) and remove from heat. Pour out water and let shrimp cool. Don’t let them overcook! If they are overcooked, the shrimp will be a little chewy, but still delicious.
Cut the onion into long thing strips -julienne style-. Place them in a bowl with water and 2 tablespoons of salt and let it settle for 10 minutes. Then gently rinse with water. This will remove the bitter bite from the onion and make it sweeter.
Cut tomatoes into small squares.
In a large bowl, mix the onion, tomatoes, orange and lemon juice, ketchup, mustard, cilantro (or parsley), oil, salt and pepper. Once the shrimp has cooled, add shrimp and mix.
Serve with fried plantains (fried green bananas) or plantain chips, popcorn and maiz tostado (dry corn kernels). Enjoy the classic ecuadorian ceviche recipe, preferably with a light pilsener beer.

Peruvian Fish Ceviche Recipe

This recipe is done in the traditional Peruvian style. If you are able to get tilapia or corvina (Chilean sea bass), those work best. The traditional way to make this recipe is with raw fish, but you may also cook the fish beforehand if you prefer. Personally, I always cook the fish first.
Serves 6
Ingredients:
2 pounds of tilapia fillets, diced (you can also use other white fish fillets)
1 ½ cup of fresh lemon juice
1 fresh yellow hot pepper, seeded and chopped (if you can’t find it, use a habanero pepper)
½ cup of celery, chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
2 large red onions, cut into long thing strips - julienne style
3 tablespoons of fresh cilantro, chopped
1 cup of lemon juice
Boiled corn, cut in 2 inch pieces
Boiled sweet potatoes, cut in slices
Lettuce leaves
Its a Mexican thing around here, some of the better Mexican restaurants carry it. My brother makes a good one. The cooking is done by the citric acid, you don't even have to fire up a grill or oven. One of my co-workers takes the ingredients with him when he goes camping, fixes it during the day, dinner is fresh and tasty and amazes the people new to camping with him.
