Este Shrimp Ceviche It is very popular in the Pacific and Atlantic regions of Colombia, but it is also enjoyed throughout the country. Like many traditional recipes there are many variations depending on the cook and region.

This dish is refreshing and perfect to serve during a party or during the week. You can double this recipe very easy and it’s perfect for first time ceviche makers, because you will cook the shrimp in water instead or citrus juice.
