Critical Success Points

  • Cutting and preparing shrimp safely.
  • Marinating shrimp long enough in lime juice to ensure it is fully 'cooked' by the acid.
  • Grinding and adding the chile mixture for authentic flavor and heat.
  • Mixing all ingredients thoroughly and tasting for seasoning before serving.

Safety Warnings

  • Shrimp must be very fresh and kept cold at all times.
  • Acid 'cooking' does not kill all pathogens; do not use if immunocompromised or pregnant.
  • Wash hands and utensils thoroughly after handling raw shrimp and hot chiles.
  • Do not leave ceviche at room temperature for extended periods.
