Those fortunate enough to be guests of Ivonne and Douglas Hoy during a Louisiana State University football game are greeted with warmth, hospitality, and if they’re lucky, Ivonne’s Red Snapper and Shrimp. She and her brother have modified the light, citrusy recipe that was passed down by their father, a native of Nicaragua.
Ivonne experiments with surprising flavors by substituting parsley and mint for the customary cilantro, and changes it up regularly for seasonality. Louisiana seafood mingles perfectly with the traditional Spanish flavors. Try this Red Snapper and Shrimp Ceviche at your next gathering. We know you’ll love it too.
