Shrimp Ceviche
“Ceviche de camarón” is traditional from the Caribbean Colombian coast and can be found normally in local restaurants or directly on the beach where street vendors prepare it freshly. However, it can be easily made at home with not so many ingredients. Here is how I do it:
Ingredients
4 portions
500 gr. shrimps
1 red onion
1 garlic clove
2 lemons
50 gr. tomato sauce
50 gr. mayonnaise (can be replaced with greek yogurt)
Olive oil
Coriander or parsley leaves
Chilli flakes (optional)
Salt & Pepper
Soda crackers
Clean the shrimps removing the dark vein if necessary
Cook the shrimps for 6 minutes in boiling water. Once cooked transfer to a bowl with cold water and ice cubes
Chop finely the onion and coriander/parsley leaves
Mince the garlic and juice the lemons
In a bowl combine the lemon juice, onion, garlic, tomato sauce and mayonnaise (or greek yogurt) and mix until a homogenous sauce. Add some olive oil if needed and salt & pepper or chili flakes to taste
Combine the cold shrimps with the sauce and serve with some coriander/parsley leaves and soda crackers
