The term “ceviche” refers to both a technique and a dish that is native to Central and South America. Raw fish or shellfish are cooked without heat, also called cured, in acidic citrus juices. The dish is seasoned with various herbs and spices.

- 2 lemons, zest and juice
- 2 limes, zest and juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions
Place shrimp in a shallow pan. Cover with juice from the lemon and lime. Set aside the lemon and lime zest. Refrigerate the shrimp for at least 3 hours or until shrimp is firm and white.
