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.

Tips and Conclusion for Making a Flavorful and Refreshing Ecuadorian Shrimp Ceviche

Ceviche is a popular dish that combines fresh seafood, citrus juices, and seasonings. Here are a few tips for making a delicious Ecuadorian shrimp ceviche: * Use the freshest shrimp possible. Fresh shrimp will have a firm texture and a slightly briny flavor. If you can, buy live shrimp and cook them yourself. * Choose the right citrus fruits. Limes are commonly used in ceviche, as they provide a bright and acidic flavor. However, you can also use lemons or oranges, or a combination of all three. * Use a variety of seasonings. In addition to salt and pepper, you can also add herbs like cilantro and parsley, and spices like cumin and chili powder. * Marinate the shrimp for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the shrimp to absorb the flavors of the citrus juices and seasonings. * Serve the ceviche immediately after marinating. Ceviche is best served fresh, so don't let it sit for too long before eating. * Enjoy ceviche with your favorite sides. Ceviche is often served with crispy plantain chips, avocado slices, and pickled onions.
