Shrimpcucumber Mango Escabeche Recipes

SHRIMP AND MANGO CEVICHE

Steps:

• Stir together the lime juice and orange juice in a medium bowl. Add the shrimp, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until the shrimp are firm and opaque, 1 hour to 1 hour 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, preheat the broiler. Broil the jalapeño until the skin is blackened all over, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Set aside to cool.
• Toss together the cilantro, olives, mango, tomatoes, bell peppers, onions and garlic in a large bowl.
• When the jalapeño is cool, carefully peel away the blackened skin, wiping away any remaining skin with a paper towel. Seed and finely dice the jalapeño and add it to the bowl. Stir in the shrimp, oil and 1/2 cup of the citrus marinade. Mix in the avocado and season with salt and pepper.

KEY WEST SHRIMP ESCABECHE

Steps:

• For the marinade: Combine coconut milk, lime juice, salt, sugar and vinegar in a bowl and mix well.
• For the escabeche: Preheat a grill to medium heat.
• Grill the tomatillos until well caramelized and soft, then chop. Grill the corn in the husks, then shuck and slice kernels from the cobs. (Keep the grill on.)
• Place shrimp in a bowl and sprinkle with olive oil and salt and pepper. Place shrimp on the grill and cook until caramelized and pink but still not cooked all the way through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Pull from grill and let cool. Carefully slice shrimp lengthwise down the back. Add shrimp to a large bowl, then add the tomatillos, corn, chiles, cilantro, onion and marinade. Mix thoroughly and immediately serve.

GRILLED SHRIMP ESCABECHE

Steps:

• Heat your grill to high. Toss the shrimp in a bowl with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Grill the shrimp for 1 to 2 minutes per side or until just cooked through. Transfer shrimp to a clean medium bowl.
• Heat 1/3 cup olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. When oil is hot, add the onion, garlic, and serrano chiles and cook until soft. Add the cumin and mustard seeds and cook for 1 minute. Add the vinegar, bay leaves, and cilantro and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat and immediately pour over the shrimp and stir to coat. Let cool to room temperature, cover, and then refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight, stirring a few times during that time. Transfer the escabeche, with a slotted spoon, to a platter and garnish with sliced radishes and torn cilantro.

SHRIMP IN ESCABèCHE

Steps:

• Toss together onion, vinegar, oregano, and 1 teaspoon salt in a shallow glass or ceramic dish.
• Simmer oil, bay leaves, garlic, and peppercorns in a small saucepan 10 minutes, then let stand until ready to use.
• Add shrimp to a medium pot of boiling salted water (2 tablespoons salt for 4 quarts water), then remove from heat and let stand, uncovered, until just cooked through, about 5 minutes. Drain well, then stir into onion mixture along with oil mixture.
• Chill shrimp in escabeche, covered when cool, stirring occasionally, at least 12 hours. Discard bay leaves and serve shrimp cold or at room temperature.
