The Ultimate Home-Prepared Ceviche
I am a big shrimp fan, but as many I can’t eat it alone. It has to be somehow marinated with lemon and other spices in order to reach the ultimate flavor. And when it comes to the preparation many of us choose to stay away thinking it is such a hassle. Thanks to Chef Aksoy, those days are over. Coming from a Latin American background, she knows her way around a great ceviche and has thought me how to prepare it at home. It is really quick and easy to prepare.
Ingredients (for 2):
- 20 pieces of cooked jumbo shrimps
- 2 limes
- 1 purple onion
- 1 orange
- 1 table spoon of ketchup
- Half a table spoon of mustard
- Salt
- Pepper
Cut the onion in thin half-moon slices. Put them in a bowl and pour a good quantity of salt on top of them. Squash the onions with your bare hands inside the bowl in order to kill their strong flavor. Once they are soft and slimy, rinse them with water. Now on top of the onions, squeeze the limes and the orange. Add the ketchup and mustard. Pour some pepper (to taste). Remove the tail of the shrimps, cut them in half and blend them into the mix you prepared. Serve it right away.
