There’s a reason shrimp ceviche is the go-to when Miami heat kicks in. We start with firm, fresh shrimp cut to a perfect bite, then bathe it in lively lime juice that wakes up every flavor. Red onion adds crunch, cilantro brings freshness, and a precise touch of chili gives character. Bright, balanced, and made to order at your favorite seafood restaurant in Miami.

What Is Shrimp Ceviche?
Shrimp ceviche celebrates Latin seafood at its freshest. Lime’s natural acidity gently firms the shrimp, keeping a clean, snappy texture in every bite.
Rooted in Latin coastal cuisine—with Peruvian-style ceviche as a noted origin and influence—this Miami favorite shines when the ingredients are fresh and the balance is right.
Core elements:
- Fresh shrimp trimmed for consistent bite
- Lime juice for bright acidity and natural “firming”
- Red onion sliced thin for snap and aroma
- Cilantro for herbal lift
- Chili tuned to your preferred heat level
How we do it at Cayo Esquivel: a short marinating window, crisp onions, and a dialed-in lime-to-salt ratio so flavors stay vivid, not harsh. If you’re searching for shrimp ceviche in Miami, this is the refreshing, citrus-forward plate you expect—made to order.
Why Our Shrimp Ceviche Stands Out
Great ceviche is all about balance—citrus that sings, herbs that lift, and heat that supports rather than shouts.
What sets ours apart:
- Texture first: firm, juicy shrimp—never mushy
- Made to order: cut, season, and chill right before serving
- Flavor harmony: citrus leads; chili hums in the background
- Heat your way: from mild and citrusy to spicier without overpowering
- Consistent every visit: standardized prep for the ceviche you love—every time
Portions & formats: perfect as a shareable starter or a light, refreshing main. It travels beautifully for pickup or delivery—so you can order online in Hialeah or order online in Bird Road and keep that just-chilled quality at home.
Flavor Profile & Easy Pairings
Expect zesty citrus, clean ocean notes, and crisp textures in every bite. The finish is refreshing—not heavy—ideal for warm days or when you want something light.
Perfect pairings:
- Tostones for crunch and a touch of salt
- Fried yuca with a creamy interior that loves citrus
- Chicha morada or an ice-cold beer to round out the meal
Prefer gentler heat? We’ll temper the chili so the lime and shrimp do the talking. Want more kick? We’ll turn it up without drowning the freshness. Whether you dine-in or need ceviche near you in Miami for takeout, we’ve got you.
