This is awesome!!! My family loved it, especially the kids. I've made ceviche before using other recipes and the kids have not been such fans. But this time they raved about it..they even admitted it was real spicy but that did not stop them from coming back for more and more!!! Of course, us adults loved it. This is by far one of the best ceviche recipes on this site and that I've made thus far! Like others I used real crabmeat, since I don't like the imitation stuff and also added scallops since we love them.

Really flavorful! We used fresh dungeness crab and used only 2 peppers as it had plenty of heat for us. Avocado is a definite must have addition! Will become a regular keeper for when we go crabbing! Thanks!

Only had a small amount of crabmeat, but found this soooo delicious! I only added a little chopped red onion-didn't want the taste of crab overwhelmed. Too, I just sprinkle some dried cilantra and parsley over. And, since I am not a "spicy fan", I omitted the peppers-guess I am the only non-spicy person in the www! Still, I am making more today for the football games! A great appetizer!

I made this for a friend's potluck BBQ. This was gone in 5 minutes. It's so easy to make too. I'd make this again.

This was the base of a great creation at my house. My husband has a beautiful garden which sometimes determines our ingredients. I used 8-10 oz imitation crab legs, 4 small red tomatoes, 1 medium yellow tomato, 3/4 of a large cucumber, one small white onion, 4 small jalapenos, 1 green chili, squeezed 2 large limes, some fresh dill, a few tbsp. olive oil, a bunch of black pepper and a generous amount of salt and mediterranean sea salt. I diced all of thes ingredients and served it with some Hint of Lime Tostitos. AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

This was really good, however I think if you cut back to just one lime, it would be perfect. 2 limes seem to overpower all the other flavors. I'll be making this again, thank you.

This recipe was great, but the cilantro was overpowering, even when I used less than what was called for.

Definitely a good recipe if you are concerned about the cost of preparing true ceviche. I felt that it was missing a little something but overall, for the cost of making this recipe, it's great!

I was looking for a ceviche recipe that didn't call for fish, and this was perfect! I didn't have cilantro, but it came out awesome anyways. I now keep extra crab meat in the freezer to make this whenever we want a nice snack. I added some garlic powder and onion salt... delish!

Absolutely delicious. I left out the tomatoes because I'm not a fan, but my husband and I both loved this. It was incredibly easy to put together and tasted great an hour later and a few days later. Yum!

This recipe was fantastic! I did add avocado and some hot sauce per other reviewer's suggestions, but I'm sure it would have been great without those items. This will be a regular staple in our household!

I use fresh King Crab legs. Imitation doesn't do justice for me. This is a great refreshing dish!

This was really good although as another reviewer mentioned it is picco de gallo with crab. But nothing wrong with that!

FRIGGIN KILLER!!! Immatation crab meat is not real ceviche because its already cooked, however, it is a cheaper method and tastes incredible! I chopped finely one garlic glove and chopped a whole mango and through it in. The mango ofset the peppers and it turned out beautiful! Matter of fact, im gonna go make it again!!! LOISGUCCI- YOU THE MAN!!!

Avocado was an interesting addition as per the other reviewers, and it turned out delicious! Also, subbed. the serranos -too spicy for me- for jalapenos and it still turned out excellent. Great recipe, I wouldn't change anything else! We served this with shredded fried tortilla pieces, and nothing was left!!

yum & easy, but a little time consuming chopping stuff up. doubled the recipe. store had bad limes so used bottled key lime juice - had ugly red onions so used white one. used jalapenos instead of serrano. was very good but i think fresh lime juice & a red onion would be even better. did use the imitation crab. tried 3 ways: fresh roma tomato, canned wood-fired tomatoes, and no tomato. wood-fired was best! served on tostada and tostito scoops - really good with texas pete. i like it even better 24+ hours later. (tip: use a pizza cutter to cut the cilantro! just roll back & forth! soo easy!!)
