Ceviche de Camarones

Ceviche is a simple yet very elegant  Colombian dish. It involves raw, but very fresh fish, drizzled with lemon juice and some fresh herbs. This is perfect for someone who wants something light, fast and is also a great source of protein.

Your Advisor

The only ingredient with enough calories worth tracking is the fish. Feel free to use more or less of the other ingredients.

I would recommend having fish 2-3 times per week.
