Ceviche from Acapulco created by rpgaymer

Excellent meal for the summer, since there is no cooking involved and it is cool. Any thick, firm white fish can be used. The citrus juice cooks the fish. You can also add shrimp or scallops and substitute for part of the fish. This is adapted from "A Treasury of Great Recipes" by Mary and Vincent Price. Cooking time is the marinating time in the refrigerator. Letting it sit in the vegetable mixture overnight is not included. Posted for ZWT5.

Loved this. I was going to buy halibut to use in this, but the store had a fresh seafood mix that I decided to go with instead. I served the ceviche as small appetizers, so we got around 8 servings out of the recipe. I also topped it with a bit of pico de gallo. It was overall a very impressive addition to my Cinco de Mayo feast! [Made & Reviewed for PRMR]

This unlike other ceviches because the flavor of the Worcestershire sauce really comes through - in a good way! Loved it!
