Ceviche is made of diced bits of raw seafood, marinated in a lemon or lime juice concoction. The acid in the citrus 'cooks' the fish until it becomes opaque and soaks in the flavour. This method is known as denaturing and achieves a similar effect as cooking with heat.
The main star of this seafood dish is fish, making it extremely important to use high-quality, fresh fish. Lime or lemon juice is a must to get things going. Flavorful veggies like onions, tomatoes, peppers, and cilantro add a freshness to this delicious Guatemalan dish.
"But the secret ingredient no one talks about? Ketchup! Not all ceviches are made solely of fish; there are a couple of variations of this easy Guatemalan recipe, including mixed fish and shrimp ceviche."
