Shrimp Ceviche with Plantain Chips
Story
As Don Luis gently folded the citrus-marinated shrimp with fresh cilantro, onions, and sweet mango, the kitchen filled with a bright, tangy aroma. “Ceviche is like a taste of the ocean, refreshing and vibrant,” he said, carefully plating it alongside crispy plantain chips. “It’s the perfect balance of acidity, sweetness, and crunch—simple yet elegant.” This Shrimp Ceviche with Plantain Chips is fresh, zesty, and full of tropical flavors.
