A bright, tangy Colombian-style ceviche of shrimp marinated in lime juice with ketchup, onion, cilantro, and a touch of heat, served in a chilled glass.

Ingredients

  • 500g large shrimp, cooked and chopped

Did You Know?

Unlike Peruvian ceviche which uses raw fish, Colombian ceviche almost always uses pre-cooked shrimp — and controversially adds ketchup, which purists in other countries find scandalous.
