CEVICHE VERACRUZANA
MAKE CITRUS MARINADE:
1 cup lime juice
1/2 cup orange juice
1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
Mix together. Take out 3/4 cup of marinade for later use.
PAR BOIL SHRIMP:
1/2 gal water
1 Tbsp Old Bay Seasoning
1/2 Tbsp salt
1 lb shrimp, 1/2 in dice (We bought 1lb frozen shrimp; thawed them; peeled 'em; cut 'em in thirds)
Bring water and seasonings to a boil. �Add shrimp for 30 seconds. Strain and put shrimp into above marinade.
(I think you need to put marinating shrimp in a non-reactive bowl, like glass or ceramic. Usually you don't want to use a stainless bowl for acidic things.)
Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
While shrimp is marinating, PREPARE VEGGIES:
1 cup diced fresh ripe tomatoes
1/2 diced white onion
1 cup bell pepper (we've been using red & yellow)
1/2 cup diced jicama
1 fresh chile, as hot as you like, seeded & diced (we've been using 1/2 jalapeno and 1/3 anaheim chile) (Don't forget to use gloves or wash hands extremely well. Chile oil really stings your fingers, paper cuts, eyes, etc)
1/2 cup finely chopped cilantro
1/2 Tbsp sugar
salt & pepper to taste
Mix these ingredients together.
PREPARE SAUCE:
1/4 cup ketchup
2 Tbsp hot sauce (our 1st try with 1 hot and 1 green tabasco - Result: Pretty Spicy) (2nd batch with 1/2 Tbsp green Tabasco - pleased our palates)
Reserved 3/4 cup of citrus marinade.
Stir together.
Finally, take shrimp from fridge. Strain shrimp and discard original marinade. �Mix shrimp with veggies and sauce. �Let sit a few minutes to marry if you wish. Serve.
For a great presentation: Serve in margarita or martini glasses with red, white and/or blue tortilla chips around plate. Slices of lime and fresh avocado. Garnish with cilantro sprigs. Or add guacamole and little sour cream on the side.
HAVE FUN AND EAT WELL!
