Escabeche is basically the marinating of something after it is already cooked, instead of before. It gives this dish a wonderful, citrus flavor that is super light and will definitely get you in the mood for summer. My Perfectly Imperfect recipe only calls for 30 minutes of marinating instead of the traditional 8 hours so it doesn’t have to be done the day before. Serve is as a salad, over rice, or in tacos!!
PREP TIME: 30 minutes
COOK TIME: None
SERVINGS: 4
ingredients
Marinade
- 1-2 lbs cooked Shrimp (chopped)
- 1 TBSP Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- juice of 2 Lemons
- juice of 2 Limes
- 1 TSP Taco Seasoning
- 3 Green Onions (white and green parts finely chopped and separated)
- Salt and Pepper to taste
Salad
- 1/4 – 1/2 head Cabbage (shredded)
- 1 head Romaine Lettuce (chopped)
- Cilantro (chopped)
- 3 TBSP Mayonnaise
- 1 Avocado (Sliced)
- 1-2 Jalapenos (optional)
instructions
- Mix Marinade ingredients (white parts of the Onions only) together with Shrimp in a large bowl. Keep refrigerated for 30 minutes.
- While the Shrimp is marinating, prep your other ingredients and mix the Lettuce, Cabbage, and Cilantro in a large bowl.
- Once the Shrimp is ready, remove about 1/2 cup of the Marinade and whisk it together with the Mayo in a small bowl. Season with Salt and Pepper to taste. (You will want to add a decent amount of Salt to cut the tang of the citrus.) Toss into the salad and massage with your hand to completely coat the greens.
- Top with the Shrimp. Avocado, green parts of the Onions, Jalapenos and more Cilantro. ENJOY!!
