Shrimp & Tuna Ceviche


NYE is around the corner and we're all thinking about what to wear to look our elegant and glitzy best. I also decided to collab with some YouTubers from around the world to make something delicious and elegant to serve at an elegant soiree. I didn't have to think too hard - an elegant Ceviche immediately stuck out.

A couple of years ago we visited the Riu Palace in Costa Rica. They were kind enough to allow me to film with their Executive Chef Rudolfo Garcia. Prior to this, I would have been scared to tackle raw fish and seafood, but Chef Rudolfo made it look so easy. I decided to make this myself and top it with the most gorgeous Tobiko flying fish roe I had been eyeing at my local specialty food store. Ceviche can be served family style, but dressed up, makes a gorgeous and elegant hors d'oeuvre.
