CRAB CEVICHE RECIPE | Small Recipe
This crab ceviche has always been a crowd pleaser in my home. This is wonderful as an appetizer with tortilla chips or served on tostadas with a thin layer of mayonnaise for a nice refreshing lunch. Make sure to refrigerate the ceviche before you serve it since it tastes best when very cold.
