This is the stuff dreams are made of. I love ceviche and this is one of the best shrimp ceviches I have ever tried. It takes some effort but the result is well worth it. This is restaurant quality. Tart and spicy. Thanks so much for sharing this wonderful recipe ;D

This ceviche is a great alternative for those who love the tart and fresh flavor of ceviche but are wary about preparing raw seafood at home. The recipe did make a bit more of the marinade/sauce than was necessary, so you may want to add in a little extra shrimp!

WOW! this was really different. It had a VERY strong orange flavor which I liked. Not your typical ceviche/seviche but very very good. it has a very light and smooth flavor to it. The addition of the roasted red peppers was wonderful. thanks for a super recipe!

Truly worth the effort. If you're wondering how many limes to buy, 5 limes gave me the 3/4 c of lime juice. I've made this several times and I can tell you that the shortcut of bottled lime juice in one batch did not have nearly the flavor of the real thing.
