Here’s a recipe from the book!
Shrimp Ceviche (makes 4 appetizer servings)

1 pound large shrimp (21/25), peeledfoodfactfriday
1/4 cup seeded, small-diced Roma tomatoes
4 teaspoons seeded, minced jalapeños
1 cup lime juice
1/2 cup small-diced red onions
2 tablespoons packed cilantro
2 tablespoons orange juice
1/3 cup lemon juice
2 teaspoons kosher salt
Plantain crisps or tortilla chips
Hot sauce (preferably Valentina or Buffalo)
Cut the shrimp in half lengthwise. Place in a bowl and cover with water. Swish around well, then remove the shrimp from the water. Combine the shrimp with the remaining ingredients in a shallow pan or bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and press it down onto the surface of the ceviche. Refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight, stirring halfway through and replacing the plastic wrap.

To serve, use a slotted spoon to transfer the ceviche to a serving dish. Serve with plantain crisps or tortilla chips and a bottle of hot sauce. Some folks like to serve the juice separately as shots of “Leche de Tigre.”
