This ceviche is one of my favorite appetizers to make ahead when hosting guests on a Sunny day. It's bright, beautiful, and has fabulous flavor. Now, if you've never made ceviche before, yes comment you chopped the shrimp up raw and it does actually "cook" from the acidity of the lime juice! Well this appetizer is great for any occasion, it's especially wonderful way to cool off in the warmer summer months alongside an ice cold drink.
