There is nothing more Guatemalan than having a Ceviche and a Gallo (Guatemalan Beer), on a hot day (It's hot everyday in Gt). Plus, it works like a charm on ANY sort of hangover. Good for the Easter feasting, the diabetics, weight watchers, vegetarians, vegans... In fact, the only people who I can think, would have a definite problem with a good, cold Ceviche, are those allergic to sea food. Need I say more, I present the 100% Guatemalan Ceviche recipe:
Ceviche de Camarón
(Prawn Ceviche)
6 servings
2 cups prawns
2 cup fresh lemon juice
6 large tomatoes, peeled and chopped
3 large onion, finely chopped
3 fresh hot red pepper, seeded and chopped
4 tablespoons mint leaves, chopped
salt, freshly ground pepper
Worcester sauce
Put the prawns into a large bowl with the lemon juice, cover, and refrigerate overnight.
then, add in the tomatoes, onion, hot pepper, and mint leaves. Season to taste with salt and pepper and Worcester sauce, if desired (but highly recommended).
* The prawns should be tailess, headless and pealed but NOT cooked. they will marinate in the lomen juice.
Serve cold (as in form the fridge cold) in salad bowls, with cracker and COLD beer... YUM!
Oh! and eat that with a table spoon. Don't you get all fancy with the little shrimp fork, or you'll drop the juices and veggies in every bite, which is a shaaaaaame...
