Glad you liked it Tom.

Here you go DSafety:

This is great for those hot summer days and nights.
It is my wife Shoko's special mix.
She mixes shrimp in with the fish every time. Gives it great texture.

Shoko's Ceviche:

1/2 to 1 lb fish fillets
1/2 lb cooked shrimp
5-6 limes, or enough juice to cover all of the meat (bottled juice can be used if you must)
1 cup of diced fresh tomatoes
1 pepper, (not bell, chili style) chopped (we like the serrano)
4 tablespoons -1/2 cup chopped cilantro (we like a lot, makes a great
mexican taste)
1 tsp garlic salt, or to taste
1 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp oregano
2 jalapeno peppers, chopped (or more or less to suit your taste)
2 tablespoons white vinegar
1 medium white onion, finely chopped
Hot sauce, to taste (tabasco style)
Several chopped black olives

Lettuce leaves (to line serving bowls)
Avocados (optional garnish)

Dice the fish (and shrimp), aprox. 1/2 inch dice.
Marinate fish and shrimp in the lime juice in the fridge overnight (this step cooks the fish meat, I don't know why, it's science).
Stir often, every few hours.
Pour off most of the lime juice (just leave the fish moist) The wife just scoops the fish out and saves the juice for later if it's needed.
Add remaining ingredients, except lettuce and avocado. Do this preferably a few hours before serving & refrigerate.
Toss well and arrange in serving bowls that are lined with the lettuce leaves.
If you wish, garnish with sliced Avocado and sliced black olives.

Get out the chips, taco shells, tortillas or whatever you feel, and chow down! We eat it with tortilla chips.

Of course this is adjustable, we have made a huge amount before for a party, and it keeps in the fridge for at least a week. We fussed with the recipe several times to adjust the taste to our likes. I recommend you do the same.
Enjoy!

Willy

One trick to good ceviche is to use Key limes instead of regular limes. Makes a huge difference!
