Definitely a lot of cutting, but worth it! Turned out absolutely delicious! ??

I used 6 lemons, 6 limes, and 2 oranges for a little sweeter ceviche. The result was phenomenal! I really like this recipe for it's simplicity, yet complex and fresh flavor. My fiance is quite picky, but gobbled this down like it was his last meal.<br/><br/>Thank you!

Next time I’ll skip boiling the shrimp & just let the citrus marinade do it’s magic.

This is soooo good!!! It was easy to make just follow the directions and you can't go wrong!!

5 minutes is way too long to leave in the shrimp--2 minutes is plenty. This also needs to be well cooled before serving. It is absolutely delicious!!!

Don't cook the shrimp....put it in the lime juice first....then cut it up....

I made this with shrimp and it was delicious, easy!, I can buy bottled naranja agria (sour orange) here so that's really convenient. I don't add avocado or cukes and do tomatoes for color only. But the lime, lemon, and sour orange together with lots of cilantro, it's to die for! I put just a smidge of bottled mojo for kicks, I just finished making it with red snapper instead of shrimp and we'll see how it turns out, smells good so far! Thanks!!
