Tips for selecting ingredients

When choosing shrimp, look for ones that are firm and have a mild odor.
For the best flavor, use fresh mint and limes.

Ingredient substitutions

Substitute the red onion with a shallot for a milder flavor. The benefit of this substitution is that it will make the dish less pungent and more subtle in taste.
Substitute the French baguettes with tortilla chips for a crunchier texture. The benefit of this substitution is that it will add an extra layer of texture to the dish, making it more enjoyable to eat.

Variations

Tropical Ceviche Replace the red onion with 1/2 cup diced fresh pineapple, and use 1/4 cup of orange juice instead of the lime juice. Add 1/4 cup diced mango and 1 tablespoon of honey to the marinade. Serve with toasted coconut flakes instead of the baguette slices.
