I have a great recepie for Ceviche, a classic mexican meal.

1 lb. cooked and diced shrimp
1 lb. cooked and diced calamari
2 onions diced
1 cup ime juice
4 large cucumbers peeled and diced
1 large onion diced
4 to 5 carrots diced
4 tomatoes diced

In a large bowl combine your seafood, note that you can use whatever
variation of seafood you like the most. Pour in your lime juice and
mix very well. Next mix the rest of your ingredients, adding salt to
your taste. Let chill in refrigerator for at least 30mis. The longer
it sits in the refrigerator the best the seafood will absorb the lime
juice. This can be served as an apetizer or a main course meal. You
can serve on tostadas or on crackers, whatever you preffer.

Um.er.....ceviche is made with raw seafood.

Ken.

Yes, indeed it is made with raw seafood, but you can also make it with
cooked seafood, specially if it is not fresh, you don't want to take
chances

Cooked Shrimp - good start.

Googling around will reveal that cebiche (from cebo, or bait, also
ceviche, seviche) can include cooked seafood, typically shrimp, squid,
and octopus. But, while popular in many S. American countries,
cebiche is most often associated with Peru where it's the national
dish. Naturally, someone is bound to dispute the origins, in this
case Ecuador. I've had it with raw fish, cooked shrimp, and raw
scallops. If done well, it's all good.

seviche
[seh-VEE-chee, seh-VEE-cheh, seh-VEESH]
An appetizer popular in Latin America consisting of raw fish marinated in citrus
(usually lime) juice. The action of the acid in the lime juice "cooks" the fish,
thereby firming the flesh and turning it opaque. Onions, tomatoes and green
peppers are often added to the marinade. Only very fresh fish should be used for
this dish. POMPANO, red SNAPPER and SOLE are the fish most often selected for
seviche (which is also spelled ceviche and cebiche ).

When living in Panama, we discovered this great dish. I often made it,
and usually used- a lot of fish ( fresh from the market) a lot of
juice from Limons, sometimes shrimp, salt , pepper, sometimes shrimp,
some onion (finely diced )and hot peppers. My kids ask me to make it
when they come for visits now, and it is just as good.

I have seen it with tomatoes, avocados, and oyher assorted sea
critters. As you said, it is all good.
