Shrimp Ceviche

The word "Ceviche" refers to both the style of cooking and also the food itself. It is a popular Latin American dish made by macerating slices of fish in an acidic marinade, commonly lime or lemon. The seafood goes through some changes similar to being cooked, but without the use of heat. This process helps to retain the original flavour of the fish. Other Mama in Las Vegas prides itself in making the best ceviche in the business, curated and crested by Chef Daniel Krohmer.

Cooking directions

Ingredients

1 lb shrimp, peeled and cleaned
5-6 limes
Salt
3 garlic cloves
¼ cup finely diced sweet onion
¼ cup finely diced red pepper
¼ cup finely diced cilantro
1-2 tbsp Aji Amarillo Paste
Tortilla chips, for serving

Step 1. Cut each shrimp into 2-3 pieces or into bite-sized chunks. Add the shrimps to a bowl and squeeze enough limes to cover the shrimps completely. Add whole garlic cloves that should be crushed with your knife into the shrimp and lime mixture. Let the shrimp marinade in the mixture for at least 3 hours in the refrigerator.

Step 2. Once the mixture is cured, remove the shrimps from the juice and place them in a serving bowl. Add a pinch of salt to the shrimps with 2 tablespoons of Aji Amarillo paste and mix well.

Step 3. Next, add the finely chopped onion, red peppers, and cilantro to the serving bowl and mix all the ingredients in the serving bowl. Taste and adjust as per your preference. If you want it spicier, add a little more Aji Amarillo paste. If you want it zingier, then add a little more lime juice.

Tip: Serve the shrimp ceviche with tortilla chips on the side.
