JOHANNA'S SHRIMP CEVICHE - ECUADORIAN STYLE
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.
ECUADORIAN - ECUADOREAN CEVICHE
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:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will directly impact the flavor of your ceviche. Use the freshest seafood, vegetables, and fruits you can find.
- Choose the right fish: White fish with a mild flavor, such as tilapia, cod, or halibut, are good choices for ceviche. Avoid oily fish like tuna or salmon, as they can overpower the other flavors in the dish.
- Cut the fish into small pieces: The fish should be cut into small, bite-sized pieces so that it cooks evenly and absorbs the marinade.
- Use a good marinade: The marinade is what gives ceviche its characteristic flavor. Use a combination of citrus juices, herbs, spices, and seasonings to create a marinade that complements the fish.
- Marinate the fish for at least 30 minutes: The longer the fish marinates, the more flavorful it will be. However, do not marinate the fish for more than 24 hours, as it can become too acidic.
- Serve ceviche chilled: Ceviche is best served chilled, so refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes before serving.
- Garnish with fresh herbs and vegetables: Garnish the ceviche with fresh herbs, such as cilantro or parsley, and vegetables, such as tomatoes or onions, to add color and flavor.
Conclusion:
Ceviche is a delicious and refreshing dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. With a few simple tips, you can make ceviche that is sure to impress your friends and family.
