Ingredients
- 16 prawns (cooked and peeled)
- 1 small red onion sliced thinly
- 1 medium fresh tomato sliced thinly
- juice of 4 limes
- juice of 1 small orange
- 3 tbsp tequila
- 1 tbsp tomato paste
- a handful fresh cilantro chopped very finely
- a handful fresh mint chopped very finely
- ½ tsp ground chipotle
- salt
Instructions
-
Put the peeled prawns in a large mixing bowl and add the orange juice, lime juice, tequila and tomato paste. Then season with half of the chipotle powder and a tiny pinch of salt.
-
Stir the prawns well, cover with a piece of cling film and put this in the fridge to rest until needed later. Soak the sliced red onion in a bowl of salt water for 20 minutes. This will remove the strong flavor but keep it fresh and crunchy and make it easier to digest for some of us.
-
Then drain the soaked red onion and add it to the chilled orange and prawn mixture together with the finely sliced ripe tomatoes. Also add the freshly chopped mint and cilantro.
-
Stir well. Cover again with the cling film and let the prawns marinate in the fridge again for at least 45 minutes until ice cold. Check the seasoning right before serving and add extra salt or chipotle powder to taste if necessary. Then scoop the ceviche into little chilled glasses or bowls. Serve cold.
