Time 37m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 lbs medium shrimp, unpeeled
2 large plum tomatoes, chopped
1 small red onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro or 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
4 romaine lettuce leaves
4 radishes, thinly sliced
lime slice

Steps:

  • Fill a large pot halfway with water and bring to a boil. Add the shrimp and cook until just opaque in the center, about 2 minutes; drain in a colander. Rinse the shrimp under cold running water; drain. Do not let the shrimp fully cook as the lime juice in the marinade will continue to "cook" it.
  • Peel and devein the shrimp; transfer to a large bowl. Stir in the tomatoes, onion, lime juice, cilantro or parsley, oil, cumin, salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours or up to 6 hours.
  • Place a romaine leaf on each of 4 plates. Top with onr-fourth of the shrimp mixture and the radishes. Serve with lime slices.
