Origin
Guerrero and Sinaloa Pacific coast, Mexico — tropical coast fishing tradition

Description
Mexican green ceviche (ceviche verde) is a Pacific Coast preparation using shrimp or white fish acid-cured in lime with avocado, tomatillo, cucumber, serrano chile, and cilantro — the colour coming from the green ingredients rather than a tomato base. Unlike Peruvian ceviche (quick cure, creamy tiger's milk) or Ecuadorian ceviche (tomato juice base), Mexican ceviche verde relies on fresh lime and green vegetables. Common in Guerrero and Sinaloa coastal cooking.
