The final product... quick and easy, gluten-free shrimp ceviche.
I had a great dinner this weekend with my hubby and some lovely friends at Fonda San Miguel here in Austin. Just wanting something light for dinner, I ordered the lobster ceviche and absolutely loved it. While I’d love to make it at home, on a busy Tuesday night, shrimp ceviche seemed like the next best thing. The prep time for this is crazy quick, and because you do quickly boil the shrimp, you only need about an hour to marinate before enjoying a yummy dinner.
- The key ingredient to this delish dish… fresh limes.
