Ceviche is a great way to enjoy seafood. This recipe is a local twist on a Peruvian classic that incorporates pimento peppers and shadon beni aka culantro instead of the traditional cilantro. Citric acid in the form of lime/lemon juice “cooks” the fish but maintains a delicate texture. Fresh aromatics like onion, garlic and ginger packs this dish with natural deliciousness.
