80g
2 garlic cloves
6g
1 tsp ground cumin
5g
1/3 cup white wine
72g
1/3 cup vinegar
72g
1/3 cup orange juice
72g
2 tbsp orange zest
30g
1 tbsp sugar
16g
3 bay leafs
1.80g
1 tbsp fresh thyme
16g
32 oz shrimps
910g
2 tbsp all-purpose white wheat flour
30g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Shrimp:
- Ensure the shrimps are peeled and deveined. Pat them dry with paper towels and set aside.
2. Cook the Aromatics:
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the finely sliced red onion and cook until it becomes soft and translucent, approximately 5-7 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and ground cumin, stirring frequently until the garlic is fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
3. Deglaze and Add Flavor:
- Pour in the white wine to deglaze the pan, scraping up any brown bits with a wooden spoon.
- Once the wine has reduced slightly, add the vinegar, orange juice, orange zest, sugar, bay leaves, and fresh thyme.
4. Simmer the Marinade:
- Bring the mixture to a simmer, ensuring all ingredients are well combined. Let it simmer for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
5. Coat the Shrimp:
- Lightly dust the shrimps with the all-purpose flour, ensuring an even coating.
6. Cook the Shrimp:
- In a separate skillet, heat a small amount of olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the flour-coated shrimp and cook until they turn pink and opaque, roughly 2-3 minutes per side.
7. Combine and Marinate:
- Once the shrimps are cooked, transfer them to the skillet with the simmering marinade.
- Stir gently to coat the shrimps in the marinade. Allow them to soak in the flavors for about 5 minutes over low heat.
8. Serve:
- Remove the bay leaves before serving.
- Serve the Shrimp Escabeche warm or at room temperature. It pairs well with crusty bread, rice, or a fresh green salad.

Tips:

- Marinate the shrimp for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

- Use fresh orange juice and zest for a more vibrant and aromatic result.

- Adjust the amount of sugar to balance the acidity from the vinegar and white wine according to your taste.

- If fresh thyme isn't available, you can use dried thyme but reduce the quantity by half.

- Sear the shrimp lightly before adding them to the marinade for added texture and flavor.

- Feel free to add other vegetables, such as bell peppers or carrots, to the marinade for additional flavor and color.
