Chapin Ceviche

This isn’t your everyday lime-and-onion ceviche you’ve seen a hundred times. Nah… this one has swagger. Born in the vibrant food culture of Guatemala, Chapin ceviche stacks up layers of tender fish, plump shellfish, and a garden’s worth of herbs — including one unexpected guest star: mint. Yeah, you heard that right. Mint. It’s the flavor twist you didn’t know you needed but will never forget once you’ve tried it.

Ingredients

  • 1 Pound raw shrimp
