Easy Low Carb Baja Style Shrimp Ceviche

Summer is just around the corner and with warmer weather there is a desire for fresh food. I love cold dishes for warmer weather, it's a great way to enjoy staying cool and eating outdoors. Ceviche is one of those dishes that I grew up with and we enjoy having it as often as possible. Ceviche is something my mom used to make for us growing up and she always made it in different ways using different types of seafood. As I grew up and started visiting different places on my own I started to see the many ways Ceviche is made around different parts of the world. I've tried ceviche in Miami, Bahamas, Mexico, Puerto Rico, and obviously here in California. Every place I've had it they have put their unique twist using different ingredients.

With this in mind, I have taken a little from my childhood and a little from my travel experiences and have created a Ceviche recipe unique to my style that is light, low carb, and so refreshing. I have never seen Ceviche done this way before and this has to be by far my favorite way to eat it. If you love seafood and enjoy citrusy and spicy food, this is for you. Hope you enjoy creating this delicious Ceviche, if you do, be sure to tag me on your pictures. Enjoy!
