How to make it keto
Strictly request no tostadas, crackers, or tortilla chips. If available, ask for a side of avocado slices or pork rinds for dipping. Confirm no added sugar in the ceviche mixture (some places add a pinch for balance).
Watch out for
Tomato can add up carbs in large quantities. Hidden sugar in the marinade is a possibility. Avoid any fruit additions (e.g., mango, although less common for traditional Guatemalan shrimp ceviche).
