Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 pound fresh white fish fillets (such as sea bass, flounder, or sole), diced into bite-sized pieces
- 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
- 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 Aji Amarillo chili, seeds removed and finely chopped (adjust amount according to desired spice level)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- Avocado slices, for garnish
- Cilantro leaves, for garnish
- Lime wedges, for serving
- Tortilla chips or plantain chips, for serving
Instructions:
- In a glass or ceramic bowl, combine the diced fish, lime juice, lemon juice, orange juice, red onion, cilantro, Aji Amarillo chili, salt, black pepper, cumin, and paprika. Stir gently to ensure the fish is well coated in the marinade. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until the fish is “cooked” by the acidic juices and becomes opaque.
- Once the ceviche is ready, give it a gentle stir. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
- To assemble the ceviche shooters, fill shot glasses halfway with the ceviche mixture. Garnish each shooter with a slice of avocado and a cilantro leaf.
- Serve the Peruvian Ceviche Shooters with lime wedges on the side and offer tortilla chips or plantain chips for scooping.
