1 Slice Orange for Garnish
Serves 2-4
Cook shrimp for 1 minute in 2 cups boiling water. Strain and reserve 1 cup of the cooking water. Mix lime juice and salt in large, flat, non-metallic container. Marinate shrimp with 6 Tblsp. lime juice in refrigerator for 1 hour. Meanwhile, cut onion in half and slice as thinly as possible. Rub salt thoroughly into onion and marinate for at least 10 minutes (this will turn onions greenish). Rinse onion strips several times through a strainer to remove excess salt and squeeze out the water. Add 1/2 Tblsp. lime juice and marinate at least 10 minutes more (this will turn the onion slightly pink). Dice green chili pepper and tomato into small pieces. Add onion and vegetables to marinated shrimp. Mix in the reserved water, OJ, ketchup, olive oil and cilantro. Serve in a small bowl with a teaspoon and garnish with fresh slice of Orange. Plantain chips or popcorn, lime and an ice cold beer or fruit juice are authentic accompaniments. Enjoy!
