Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

In a large bowl, gently combine the flaked imitation crabmeat, diced Roma tomatoes, chopped cilantro, serrano chiles, and sliced green onion. (5 minutes)

02

Step
2 mins

Pour the fresh lime juice over the crabmeat mixture. Gently toss to coat, ensuring the lime juice is evenly distributed. (2 minutes)

03

Step
3 mins

Season the ceviche generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Adjust the lime juice and seasoning to your liking, adding more lime juice for extra tang or chile for additional heat. (3 minutes)

04

Step
15 mins

Allow the ceviche to rest for at least 15 minutes in the refrigerator to allow the flavors to meld together. This step is crucial for the best flavor! (15 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of cumin or a dash of your favorite hot sauce.
If you prefer a milder flavor, remove the seeds and membranes from the serrano chiles before chopping.
Serve chilled with tortilla chips, tostadas, or as a refreshing topping for salads.
This ceviche is best enjoyed fresh. While it can be stored in the refrigerator for a day, the texture may change slightly.
