Traditional Peruvian ceviche is made with raw fish and onions in a lime juice dressing. However, there are also variations of ceviche made with other seafood, such as shrimp, which are added to the dish after boiling. Large steamed shrimp are cut into chunks, mixed with onions and tomatoes, and drizzled with a dressing made of lime juice, grated ginger, garlic, and spicy Peruvian aji amarillo paste. Ceviche is served very cold with a side of rice, corn, or sweet potato.
