Known for its wonderful seafood, fresh fruits and vegetables, and wine, I thought it might be nice from time to time to share a few recipes that take their inspiration from South American cuisine.

Below is a delicious recipe for an Easy Ecuadorian Shrimp Ceviche from the folks at Laylita’s Recipes.

Also known as Ceviche de Camaron, shrimp cerviche is a make ahead marinated dish, so you’ll want to let the flavors mingle for at least an hour before you serve it to your grateful guests.

Ingredients:

1lb of cooked shrimp (if you buy it raw, I suggest you cook it in beer or coconut milk for amazing flavor)
2 red onions sliced very thinly
4 tomatoes sliced very thinly
The juice of about 10 limes
The juice of 1 orange
1/2 cup of ketchup
1 bunch of cilantro chopped very finely
Salt, pepper and oil (sunflower or light olive oil)
