2. Shrimp Ceviche: Although ceviche is popular in several Latin American countries, the Ecuadorian version is unique. It's prepared with cooked shrimp in a juice made with sour orange juice, tomato, onion, cilantro, and a touch of chili. It's served cold and is often accompanied by patacones (fried and mashed green plantains), popcorn, or chifles.

This ceviche is a real treat. It's not like those from other countries; ours has a unique flavor thanks to the sour orange juice. It's a fresh delight that falls like a pearl on the beach.
