Ceviche is a dish made from fresh raw fish that has been cured in citrus juice. It often contains chopped red onions, cilantro, tomato, chili peppers, and much more! It isn't terribly difficult to convert it to a low carb version - the citrus juice needs to be kept to a minimum, and I've switched the red onions for a combination of green onions and cucumber. You could also add some avocado to the mix, but I didn't have one ripe enough at the time I wanted to make this - and you do want the fish to be as fresh as possible.

How to Make Low Carb Shrimp and Salmon Ceviche

Chop two salmon fillets and some raw shrimp (no shell or tail) into small pieces. I really think it is worth taking the time to make them really small.

Place them in a bowl, cover them with fresh lime juice and stir well. Cover and leave to cure for 30 minutes in the fridge.

The fish will start to turn opaque and the shrimp may even have a few pink tinges - this is due to the lime juice "cooking" them.

Add some chopped cucumber, cherry tomatoes, green onions, and fresh cilantro. I'm not going to lie - there's a LOT of chopping needed for this recipe!

Stir well, then cover and leave in the fridge to marinate for at least another 30 minutes.

Drain the juice and season with salt and pepper.

This shrimp and salmon ceviche is perfect served with homemade low carb tortilla chips!
