In case you didn't know, June 28th is National Ceviche Day and lucky for us,  My Ceviche, and Zuuk Mediterranean owner Sam Gorenstein shares this cool and refreshing summer ceviche recipe featuring Key West Shrimp and Watermelon. Make it today, for July 4th festivities or any day to cool off from Miami's heat.

My Ceviche, which currently has four locations and opening two more soon in Midtown and at MIA Airport, prides itself on using fresh local fish in a variety of ceviches, tacos, burritos and bowls.  Each location offers both eat in or take out in a casual "beach shack" setting.  Read past MIAbites feature on My Ceviche here.
