    I'm sorry, I generally love Rick Bayless' recipes, but I have a bone to pick about this one. This isn't ceviche at all. By definition, ceviche refers to seafood "cooked" in a citrus fruit marinade. There shouldn't be any heat involved. This is a boiled shrimp cocktail. Perhaps the name of the recipe should be Shrimp "Ceviche-like" Cocktail.

    I am a HUGE fan of ceviches. I was so excited to make this recipe and it turned out awful. All you can taste is ketchup.

    I was hesitant to serve this based on the reviews regarding the ketchup in the recipe. I made my first batch on Saturday, and went right back to the store the next morning to get more shrimp to make another! It was FANTASTIC! I added a bit more hot sauce to kick it up...but the sweetness added from the ketchup absolutely MADE this dish! Clearly, some people don't like that "cocktail" flavor...but if you keep in mind that this is a ceviche "cocktail" as stated in the title of the recipe, your expectations are met! It's delicious! I will make this again and again! It did NOT disappoint!

    Definitely one of the best I've tried...I agree with others that the ketchup is too smooth and gives the ceviche into a more soup-like consistency-I used diced tomatoes for a chunkier ceviche and it came out great! Make sure you get the Mexican hot sauce (I went with the Bufalo it adds kick without much in the way of heat. Try using 1/2 cup of cucumber and Jicama EACH as suggested - gives great texture and flavor!!

    People complaining about the ketchup have an inaccurate idea of what kind of dish this is. We serve it cold, with ketchup, slices of lime and Valentina hot sauce on the table so everyone can make it as tangy/spicy as they like. But this is def how it is supposed to be made. It can be eaten as a meal itself with saltine crackers or served in smaller portions as appetizers. I like my cocktail chunky so I add more of the cucumbers, avocado and onions. Thats another plus about this, you can add and take ingredients easily to make it suit your tastes.

    I LOVE this ceviche, but only if you leave out the ketchup. I have passed this recipe on to many other people (minus ketchup and they all love it as well. It is fairly easy just a little time consuming. I crave this all the time!

    My husband's uncle makes a recipe just like this but I wanted to double check. I like the more chunky cocktail/ceviche...not the soupy stuff. I had almost all the ingrediants on hand and it was late, so I wanted a light dinner. I used about 8, cooked frozen shrimp & thawed them. I used all the other ingrediants listed except avocado & lime because I did not have them. However, I did use lemon juice. I used RED DEVIL hot sauce because thats what was on hand. VERY GOOD. Served with mission tortilla chips. YUM!

    I'm afraid I was disappointed in this recipe. I love ceviche in the more traditional style, and thought this would be a great alternative, but I won't make it again. I agree with a previous reviewer that there was something off about the ketchup. Perhaps fresh tomatoes would be better, but I'll stick with the raw whitefish version of ceviche and not experiment any further with shrimp.
    On another note, I rated it average because those that I served it to really seemed to like it.
