Hey foodies! ![Taco :taco: ๐ฎ](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f32e.png)
I'm excited to share a unique Ecuadorian dish called Ecuadorian Ceviche. ![Fish :fish: ๐](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f41f.png)
Unlike the traditional ceviche found in other Latin American countries, Ecuadorian ceviche is made with shrimp or fish marinated in lime juice, mixed with tomato, onion, cilantro, and sometimes a touch of orange juice for sweetness. ![Fried shrimp :fried_shrimp: ๐ค](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f364.png)

It's served with toasted corn kernels (cancha) and plantain chips for a delicious crunch! ![Face savoring food :yum: ๐](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f60b.png)
