Whenever I hear about ceviches, people are always talking about the ceviches of their homeland, Argentina, Peru, Chile. Everyone will proudly back-up theirs as the best. With the ingredients I had, like lime, cilantro, red onion, etc, I naturally thought of ceviche, but I also had some pomelo, and I just desperately wanted to include it. Since Pomelo is native to South East Asia, this is kind of a fusion dish.
Shrimp Ceviche of No Origin
- 12 shrimp (size: 26-30 count)
- 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1/4 cup small diced seedless cucumber
- 2 tablespoons paper thin slices or red onion
- 1 teaspoon chopped cilantro
- 1/8 teaspoon hot sauce
- 3/4 cup pieces of peeled pomelo, divided
- salt and pepper to taste
1. Peel and clean the shrimp. Cut them in half lengthwise. Submerge shrimp in lime juice and store in the fridge for 3 hours.
2. Stir in cucumber, red onion, cilantro, and hot sauce. Refrigerate for another 30 minutes.
3. Put 1/4 cup of pomelo in each martini glass.
4. Strain ceviche, season to taste, and divide among the 3 glasses.
whenever i think of ceviche now, i can’t help but think of Top Chef, as i’m convinced that ceviche makes up about 60% of the dishes produced on that show.
That is so true Anne. But I like ceviche a lot. I think the addition of pomelo sounds so good, a nice citrus and acidity for the shrimp. Presented very well.
I love ceviches. So bright and flavorful. But don’t throw away that strained liquid. That’s the Leche de Tigre! It’s a great accompaniment to the ceviche.
Anne, haha, yet another complaint to add to this season of Top Chef.
Manger la ville, thanks. The pink pomelos have an irresistible color too.
Sheng, I hadn’t heard of Leche de Tigre but just looked it up, some good info here, I’ll have to try it next time.
Looks beautiful and delicious! 🙂
We just want summer when we see ceviche!
Ceviche is one of my all-time favorites. Check out these recipes for our Ceviche with Soy Sauce and Peanuts as well as our Coconut Vuelve a la Vida Ceviche. Enjoy!!
I like your version with shrimp and cucumber. The cucumber looks like a great texture to combine with the pomelo.
