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     Onion     Shellfish     Appetizer     Sauté     Low Fat

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound of medium shrimp, peeled, de-veined, with tails removed
1 pound of red onions
4 medium sized limes
1/4 cup of ketchup
1 tablespoon olive oil
pinch of sugar
1/4 cup orange juice
3 tablespoons of butter
1 tablespoon, freshly chopped parsley
pinch of salt

Steps:

  • Cut whole onions in half, then make thin, long slices from each half onion. The thin slices should then be cut in half. Place the onions in a bowl and squeeze the juice of the limes over the onions and add a pinch of salt. Combine the onions, lime juice and salt, mix by hand to coat onions thoroughly. Melt the butter in a deep skillet over medium heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 3-5 minutes (until the shrimp are just cooked, be careful not to overcook the shrimp) Remove the shrimp from the skillet but reserve the liquid in the skillet (the melted butter and water from cooking shrimp). Return skillet with liquid to medium heat, add ketchup, sugar and combine ingredients together. Remove from heat and let liquid cool. Before moving on to the next step, taste the onions that have been marinating while you cooked the shrimp. If the onions are too salty, give them a light rinse with water, and drain before moving on to the last step. After the liquid from the skillet has cooled, pour the liquid from the skillet into a serving bowl. Add the onion mixture, shrimp, orange juice, olive oil and chopped parsley to the serving bowl. Mix well and set aside. That completes the shrimp ceviche, it should be served at room temperature over warm white rice.
