ECUADORIAN - ECUADOREAN CEVICHE



Ecuadorian - Ecuadorean Ceviche image

This is one of my favorite family recipes. It is great as a first course or for lunch. I usually use medium shrimp for this dish, but it doesn't really matter what size the shrimp are. It's not really hot, but you can use less hot sauce (or more if you like). We usually serve it with plain popcorn on top, though some skip the popcorn. Don't use buttery popcorn, only plain will do. Some Ecuadorians serve it with maiz tostado, which is a kind of fried/toasted corn kernal which doesn't pop. You can buy maiz in markets that carry Andean products. You have to saute them in hot oil until they get toasted. This dish is served in a wide champagne goblet or a dish in which you would serve a shrimp cocktail. Cooking time listed is for shrimp. Chilling time is not listed.

Categories     appetizer

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 large tomato, halved, seeds removed
2 jalapeno peppers, halved, seeds removed
1 red bell pepper, halved, seeds removed
1/2 yellow onion, peeled
1 pound medium shrimp, peeled, deveined, halved lengthwise
1/2 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
1/4 cup tomato juice
1 tablespoon sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more to taste
Tabasco sauce to taste
2 tablespoons chopped chives
2 tablespoons finely sliced scallions
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
1/2 cup freshly made unsalted popcorn
1/2 cup unsalted corn nuts, or salted corn nuts, rinsed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 500 degrees and line a sheet pan with aluminum foil. Place the tomato, jalapenos, bell pepper and onion, cut sides down, on the pan and roast until charred, about 30 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large saucepan of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the shrimp and immediately turn off the heat. Allow the shrimp to sit in the water 1 1/2 minutes. Immediately drain the shrimp and submerge in a large bowl of very cold water. When cool, drain and transfer shrimp to another large bowl and set aside.
  • Slip the skins off the tomato and peppers and place the tomato, peppers and onion in a blender with the lime juice, orange juice, tomato juice, sugar and salt. Blend until smooth. Taste and season with Tabasco and salt to taste. Pour the sauce over the shrimp and toss. Chill until ready to serve. Serve in small bowls garnished with chives, scallions, cilantro, popcorn and corn nuts.

Tips:

  • Use the freshest shrimp possible. Fresh shrimp is essential for making the best ceviche. Look for shrimp that are bright pink and have a firm texture.
  • Clean the shrimp properly. Before you cook the shrimp, be sure to clean them properly. This means removing the head, tail, and deveining the shrimp.
  • Cook the shrimp until they are just opaque. Overcooked shrimp are tough and chewy. Cook the shrimp until they are just opaque, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Use a good quality ceviche mix. There are many different ceviche mixes available, so be sure to choose one that you like. A good ceviche mix will contain a variety of spices, herbs, and citrus juices.
  • Marinate the shrimp for at least 30 minutes. The longer you marinate the shrimp, the more flavorful they will be. Marinate the shrimp for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Serve the ceviche chilled. Ceviche is best served chilled. Serve it with a variety of sides, such as avocado, tomatoes, onions, and cilantro.

Conclusion:

Ecuadorian shrimp ceviche is a delicious and refreshing dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give Ecuadorian shrimp ceviche a try!
