Shrimp ceviche toasts

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Can I use other seafood in place of shrimp?
Yes, you can substitute the shrimp with other seafood, such as scallops or fish like tilapia or halibut. Just make sure the seafood is fresh, and adjust the marinating time depending on the type of fish. Fish typically needs less time in the lime juice compared to shrimp.

Can I make this ceviche without lime juice?
Lime juice is an essential component of ceviche, as its acidity “cooks” the seafood. If you don’t have lime, you can use lemon juice, though it will change the flavor slightly. Some variations of ceviche also use orange juice, so feel free to experiment with different citrus fruits.

Can I make this ceviche in advance?
While ceviche is best eaten fresh, you can prepare the shrimp and vegetables ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator for a few hours. Just be sure not to assemble the tostadas in advance, as the tortilla may get soggy. Assemble the ceviche just before serving.

Can I make this ceviche without avocado?
Absolutely! While avocado adds a rich, creamy texture, it is optional. You can skip it or substitute it with another topping like diced mango or even a drizzle of sour cream for extra creaminess.
