Shrimp Ceviche


     I want to thank my friend Rossi Cevallos who gave me this recipe and, let me share it. She is a passionate cook like me. One day I asked her which was her favorite meal from her country Ecuador and, she answered me Ceviche. I was intrigued when she started explaining to me the different ways people from her country made the ceviche.  She then gave me her version and I made it for my daughter, who loved it.  She was so happy with it and, she told me to add it to our go-to list for friday night. Here I share that recipe with you.  Enjoy!
