Making the Ceviche 

For this recipe, it's important to precook the shrimp !

Several options :

- In summer, you can grill them whole on the barbecue, but when deveined, 30 seconds on each side is sufficient.

- Simply blanch the peeled shrimp in a broth for a few seconds.

- The last option is to cook them in a pan, deveined, 2 minutes on each side with a drizzle of olive oil. Let the shrimp cool.

Blend the hogao using a blender. Finely slice the onion, coriander, and parsley. In a bowl, mix the shrimp, blended hogao, parsley, and coriander. Add the lime zest, lime juice, and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Serve in a sharing dish and garnish with coriander to taste.
