Рецепт Champagne Mango and Shrimp Ceviche
Coastal Mexico can be described as a mango. The colors of the horizon melt into each other when the sun is setting. It sets the mood for champagne. Tropical trees swaying in the background and a beautiful breeze sending the aromas of their feast into the air.
The area is known for the beautiful blue waters and the incredible array of fish and shellfish.
Having visited both the Pacific Coastal Region and the Caribbean Coasts of Mexico reminds me of the fantastic ceviche I tasted while I was in Cancun.
Back to reality. While I was in the produce section of my local supermarket, I came across a Champagne Mango. I had never had one before and the name was calling out to me. It’s described as smooth, velvety, and lip-smacking delicious. So naturally, I bought one.
In the cart I added some shrimp meat and before I knew it I had all the makings for

By the way, it can be ceviche or seviche, either way you spell it, you will love this recipe.

- ¼ cup snipped fresh cilantro
- 2 Tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
- ½ jalapeno pepper, stemmed, seeded, and chopped

This recipe definitely requires a bit of planning, but it is totally worth it.
I baked my own tortilla chips, but I limited it to 8 chips per person (which is 1 PP). Very easy to make too. I will share the procedure in a future post.
It makes a great appetizer before any meal. So after you have several Sangria Mocktails, you will be ready for your Mexican Feast.
Ceviche is also quite versatile and can be made many different ways. How do you ceviche?
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
