Made this dish w/ out many adjustments and it was delicious! I put less ketchup in it than the recipe suggests to give it a lighter (not so ketchup-y) flavor. Guests loved it and several asked for the recipe. Very simple to make.
Erica says
Cindy,
Thank you so much for your feedback.

Adriana says
I’ve made colombian ceviche before and I use red onion instead of yellow onion. Great flavor!
Sandy says
I usually do this as an hors d’oeuvre and use cocktail shrimp so it’s easier to serve on the crackers, also with red onions and no ketchup. Cant wait to try it with the Tabasco though…
Chris says
Yea I’m thinking the same no ketchup, too sugary for me all that high fructose corn syrup in everything is no good. I too would change for red onions instead of yellow.
Also would this be a similar recipe for Ceviche Mixto? I would like to do a mixto for my wife and I, as we love seafood, shrimp, fish, lobster bits etc, but I don’t think it’s served the same way right?

Bill says
I’m not Colombian, but I am married to one! This recipe is as close to Cali as it gets!
Frank says
Going to try this shortly but am puzzled as to why you would call this “ceviche”, as no raw seafood/shellfish is used? I think it should be called “Shrimp Cocktail”? Just a thought, although I am certainly going to make it and know it will be delicious! Thank you.
Greg says
Just a thought! I have not made this yet but definitely will. I can tell it is going to be lovely.
But I always thought ceviche was something RAW and then soaked in a lime juice mixture to cook the shrimp or whatever you are making. Am I wrong in saying this????
Erica Dinho says
You can do that too. I like to make mine with cooked shrimp.
Greg says
OK, I was just a little confused thinking that I missed something. Either way, they will be great. I will do it both ways to see.
Thanks
