Shrimp Ceviche
Marinated seafood dishes called ceviche (cebiche) are popular throughout South and Central America. After three hours of marinating, the shrimp will still be translucent in the centre; this is the authentic way of preparing ceviche. After six hours, the shrimp are almost cooked through by the citrus juice. If you prefer fully cooked shrimp, you can achieve this by boiling the shrimp for 60 seconds instead of 10.

- 1/4 cup (60 mL) finely chopped onion

- 1/2 cup (125 mL) finely diced cucumber
- 2 green onions, finely sliced
- Half head of iceberg lettuce, shredded
- 2 tbsp (30 mL) each minced fresh coriander and parsley
