SPICY ORANGE SHRIMP CEVICHE
Makes a great appetizer, party snack, side dish or main course! Also try using assorted seafood such a tilapia, crab, scallops, etc. I included the ketchup, but you can use sweet Ecuadorian tomato sauce as traditional or skip it altogether as I prefer! Some also like it on the side and let the guests choose. You can also place a dollop on the side of the martini glass as some restaurants do. You can flash cook the shrimp if preferred by placing in boiling water for 2 minutes before peeling and deveining them. You can make this with only an hour or so of "cooking" in the citrus juices, as you prefer. Also...I use 2-3 jalapenos and occasionally habenero for extra pep! Serve with a crisp but fruity sauvignon blanc (rochioli or girard)

- Make salad:
- Cook shrimp in cleaned 4- to 6-quart pot of boiling salted water until just cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes. Drain and transfer to another bowl of ice and cold water to cool. Drain and halve lengthwise, then chill, covered.

- Properly Devein and Clean Shrimp: Remove the veins from the shrimp to eliminate any gritty texture and rinse thoroughly to maintain its natural flavor.
- Choose Ripe Oranges: Select ripe oranges for a sweet and tangy citrus flavor. The juice and zest of the oranges play a crucial role in the marinade.
- Fresh Cilantro and Red Onion: Use freshly chopped cilantro and thinly sliced red onion to add a vibrant flavor and color to the ceviche.
- Balance the Flavors: Taste the marinade before adding it to the shrimp and adjust the seasonings according to your preference. A harmonious blend of sweet, sour, and spicy flavors is essential.
- Cover and Refrigerate: Cover the ceviche tightly and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the shrimp to marinate.
- Serve Chilled: Serve the ceviche chilled for a refreshing and flavorful appetizer or main course. Garnish with additional cilantro and orange slices for an attractive presentation.
