An elegant presentation that is suitable for guests. In this ceviche you can use precooked salad shrimp, or the more traditional raw shrimp, and serve in a romaine lettuce wrap. Of course you can use any lettuce you prefer, such as green leaf lettuce, red leaf lettuce, or Boston leaf lettuce. My husband prefers his ceviche served on a bed of iceberg lettuce rather than a wrap. You could also get really fancy if you are ambitious. Cut strings out of green onions and tie bundles. Thinly sliced green onions, soaked in ice water get curly. Very pretty. Created for the Craze-E Salad Contest. REVISED after reviews.:wink: Ingredients:
1/2 lb small baby shrimp, cooked or 1/2 lb raw baby shrimp |
1/2 cup red radish, sliced thin and cut into matchsticks |
1 tablespoon red onion, minced |
1 tablespoon red pepper, minced |
1/2 cup green onion, thinly sliced on the diagonal (i use kitchen shears) |
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (about 2 limes) |
1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped (i, again, use kitchen shears) |
2 teaspoons asian chili paste (or less to taste) |
1/2 cup summer slicing tomato, cut into small dice |
avocado |
lettuce leaf, of your choice (see intro) |
salt & freshly ground black pepper (optional) |
Directions:
1. Combine shrimp, radish, red pepper, red and green onions in a bowl; squeeze fresh lime juice over top and stir.
2. Cover and let marinate in refrigerator for 2 hours.
3. Stir in cilantro, and chili paste.
4. Just before serving, core and peel avocado. Cut into six slices, lengthwise.
5. For each serving, take one lettuce leaf, place an avocado slice inside, some chopped tomato, a few green peas if using, and then heap with a couple of spoonfuls of ceviche; season with salt and pepper, if desired.
