Nothing makes me happier than having a tasty Peruvian ceviche mixto with sweet potato. At home, making Peruvian ceviche is synonymous with having fun. Now that you can easily get many of the ingredients in the U.S. I could not pass up the opportunity to use “choclo”, Peruvian corn. Many people like to add milk to the ceviche, but I prefer not to. I hope you enjoy this tasty and easy recipe for Peruvian ceviche mixto, and that you enjoy it as much as I do.

Ingredients

  • 2 sweet potatoes
  • 1 red onion cut into thin strips
  • 1 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 stalk of cut celery
  • 1/4 cup cilantro leaves
  • 1 pinch ground cumin
  • 1 clove of garlic chopped
  • 1 habanero pepper seeded and chopped
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

  • 1 pound medium shrimp peeled and cut into 1/2 inch pieces
  • 1 Boston or bibb lettuce

    Meanwhile, combine the lemon juice, celery, cilantro and cumin in a blender until smooth. Pour the mixture into a large glass bowl, and stir in the garlic and habanero pepper. Season with salt and pepper, then stir in the tilapia and shrimp. Put aside to marinate for an hour, stirring occasionally. The seafood is cooked once it becomes firm and opaque.
