This recipe was created by Chef Rafael Palomino of Pacifico (Nuevo Latino Restaurant and Tapas) in New York, courtesy the Chilean Avocado Importers Association. This dish is not a true "ceviche" because the fish (in this case, shrimp) gets cooked before serving.
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients:
- 2 Cups medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1/2 Cup fresh orange juice (1 orange)
