Sinaloa-Style Ceviche Recipe
Sinaloa-style ceviche emerged after trying many ceviche types without finding satisfying versions, leading to personal recipe creation hoping others will enjoy these results. This custom recipe reflects individual taste preferences while incorporating authentic Sinaloan coastal cooking techniques. The personalized approach ensures unique flavor combinations that satisfy specific palate requirements.

I tried many types of ceviche, none to my liking, so I created my own recipe. I hope you enjoy it. It looks appetizing and is really good, especially for hangovers. It’s Sinaloa-style because of the slices of jalapeños and red onions. It’s a delicate, classy dish. Serve on tostadas with Tapatio hot sauce, sliced avocados, and Mexican beer.
Ingredients
3 pounds raw shrimp, peeled, deveined, and cut into small pieces
14 limes, juiced, divided
½ white onion, finely chopped
1 serrano chile pepper
1 pound imitation crabmeat, shredded
3 tomatoes, seeded and finely chopped
1 cucumber, seeded and finely chopped
1 bunch cilantro, chopped
½ red onion, thinly sliced
4 jalapeño chile peppers, sliced
½ cup tomato and clam juice cocktail (such as Clamato)
salt and ground black pepper to taste
Directions
Combine shrimp, ½ lime juice, and white onion in a large bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until shrimp is opaque, about 12 hours. Drain; discard accumulated juices.
Combine remaining ½ lime juice with serrano in a large bowl.
Add shrimp mixture, crabmeat, tomatoes, cucumber, cilantro, red onion, and jalapeños to the bowl. Stir in tomato and clam juice cocktail; season with salt and black pepper.
Cook’s Notes:
Make sure you fully “cook” the shrimp with lime juice. You can also cook them using heat.
Substitute fish for the crabmeat and shrimp if desired.
You can add other vegetables; some people like it with carrots.
