Ceviche Mixto Recipe

Ceviche Mixto Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Seafood

   Start by cleaning the wild Mexican shrimp. Remove the shells and devein them. Cut the shrimp into small pieces. For the Yucatan octopus, pre-cook it if it is raw; boil in salted water until tender, then cut into bite-sized pieces. Cut the grouper fillet into small cubes.

2. 2

   Mix the Seafood

   In a large bowl, combine the shrimp, octopus, and grouper. Pour the fresh lime juice over the seafood to marinate. Make sure all pieces are well coated. Let it sit for 15-20 minutes until the seafood is 'cooked' by the acid.

3. 3

   Chop the Vegetables

   While the seafood is marinating, finely chop the red onion, cilantro leaves, tomato, and jalapeño pepper. Add these chopped vegetables to the seafood mixture after the marinating time.

4. 4

   Season the Ceviche

   Add salt to taste to the ceviche mixture. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients evenly.

5. 5

   Serve

   Dice the avocado and place it on top of the ceviche mix or serve it on the side. Serve chilled in small bowls as an appetizer or light meal.
