Great and easy recipe to make on your dinner party! The best thing is to use firm local fish or shrimps for this ceviche. In order to make sure the fish is fresh and doesn’t fall apart. In case you don’t have the beans, or you don’t like the beans, you could leave out this component or substitute it for another ingredient. For example, crispy sea weed, fried onion or another crispy fried vegetable.
