Shrimp Ceviche Recipe

Have you ever tried a Shrimp Ceviche recipe?

I never even knew what it was until a co-worker of mine brought it into work one day. How could I have never had this before? This stuff was amazing!

I was a little concerned when I learned how to make it but I can assure you it is awesome. The vinegar is what cooks the shrimp!

Pretty cool, huh? Just make sure you let it marinade for 24 hours so the shrimp is fully cooked. (You aren't actually cooking the shrimp with heat. The vinegar does all of the work)

Here is a version of a shrimp ceviche recipe that you might really like:

2 pounds uncooked shrimp, peeled
2 onions, chopped
4 green chile peppers, chopped
2 cups lime juice
2 tablespoons black pepper
1/8 cup white vinegar

Mix together in a glass bowl. Refrigerate for 24 hours.

Here is another one. For this recipe you will use cooked shrimp.
