There are a few ingredients in ceviche that can be varied. Typically it contains raw seafood, (shrimp, scallops, whitefish). A "cooking" agent (ceviche is not cooked) such as lime juice or lemon juice, salt, cumin, a pepper (capsicum ) and onion. Other ingredients like marjoram (mexican oregano) or cilantro (coriander leaf) can be added for flavor. The seafood is marinated in the juice (fully submerged) for at least 6 hours until the flesh becomes opaque. the other ingredients can be added before, during or even after this marinating. Always use very, very fresh seafood to avoid any possible contamination.
