    The best part of this easy recipe is that it uses frozen mahi mahi fish fillets that you don't even have to worry about thawing.

    Ceviche is a way to cook fresh fish or shrimp by marinating it in lime or lemon juice. The acidity of the citrus cooks the mild fish or shrimp and then it is served with fresh ingredients such as onions, tomatoes, fresh herbs and spices.

    Cooking fish in citrus can be pretty intimidating and makes some people weary that it is not cooked all the way through- this recipe allows you to feel confident that the fish is cooked all the way through!
