Caribbean Shrimp Ceviche

This month, we're heading to the Caribbean Islands to give a lively spin on the classic shrimp ceviche. Bright, citrusy, and bursting with Island flavours, this Caribbean-style ceviche is simple and quick to make. It can be enjoyed chilled on hot summer days, served as a snack with drinks, or as a light appetiser for any gathering.
