I'm posting here five recipes for seviche/ceviche as published in the Food
section of Wednesday's Washington _Post_. The article included all the
standard warnings about parasites, etc. but we've been over all that
already, and the article didn't have anything new to add to our prior
discussion so I'll skip all that and post just the recipes. Also you will
note that the chile content of these recipes is minimal or even noted as
"optional"!!??? (The _Post_ also spells the word for the fruit "chili;"
it's getting so the concept of "literate journalist" is almost a
contradiction in terms...) Well, I reckon all of us know what needs to be
added in each case--or we can do some trial and error adjusting. See
recipes "SAIGONNAIS SCALLOP SEVICHE", "ROOF TERRACE RESTAURANT CARIBBEAN
SEAFOOD ESCABECHE", "MUSSEL SEVICHE", and "LOBSTER SEVICHE".
(No personal attribution given; The Old Angler's Inn is a fairly good,
quite expensive restaurant in the Maryland suburbs, out along the Potomac
River) 4 servings.
Boil shrimp in water to cover until just done. Do not overcook. Rinse under
very cold water and drain. Combine shrimp with oil, Clamato juice,
Worcestershire sauce, avocado, cilantro, onion, chile, lime juice, salt,
pepper, and cumin. Garnish with wedges of lime and cilantro sprigs. Serve
with tortilla chips.
