Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Ensure the shrimps are peeled and deveined. Pat them dry with paper towels and set aside.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Lightly dust the shrimps with the all-purpose flour, ensuring an even coating.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
