Chilled coconut milk and honeydew with an infusion of mint and melon liqueur makes a delightful start to a meal. Served in a chilled small soup cup and garnished with a sprig of peppermint. Every time it gets wows! Volume varies with the size of the melon. I use 5-ounce servings.

This is the most wonderful ceviche ever. It is thick enough to be eaten as a meal and it is the only recipe I have found that kid's enjoy. It was made by Leo Longoria from south Texas and is perfect in every way. Any fish will do but I recommend Red Fish first. I have also tried with Crappie and it is wonderful.

San Ignacio Shrimp Salsa and Ceviche
Actually, a true salsa is pretty smooth in texture, about the consistency of a milk shake, and is often cooked. Since this has finely minced pieces throughout and is not cooked, it would really be considered what is called a pico de gallo or salsa fresca. Chop the pieces just a little bit larger and you have a ceviche! This is great as a chip dip or condiment on burgers or in tacos.
