A bright, citrusy Ecuadorian ceviche of plump shrimp marinated in lime and orange juice with red onion, tomato, and cilantro, served with crunchy chifles and popcorn.

Ingredients

  • 500g large shrimp, cooked and chopped
  • Juice of 8 limes
  • Juice of 2 oranges
  • 1 large red onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tomatoes, diced
  • 1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
  • 1 jalapeño, seeded and minced
  • Ketchup (2 tbsp)
  • Salt and pepper
  • Chifles and popcorn for serving

Instructions

  1. 1 Soak sliced red onion in salted water 10 min, drain. This tames the bite.
  2. 2 Combine cooked shrimp, lime juice, orange juice, and onion in a glass bowl.
  3. 3 Add tomatoes, cilantro, jalapeño, and ketchup. Mix gently.
  4. 4 Season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate 20 min.
  5. 5 Serve in bowls or glasses with chifles (plantain chips) and popcorn on top.
