Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds medium shrimp (21 to 25 per pound), peeled and deveined
1/3 cup olive oil, plus 2 tablespoons
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper<
1 large red onion, peeled, halved, and thinly sliced
4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
2 serrano chiles, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 teaspoon mustard seeds
2 cups white wine vinegar
2 bay leaves
8 sprigs cilantro
1/2 cup thinly sliced radishes
3 tablespoons torn cilantro leaves

Directions

Heat your grill to high. Toss the shrimp in a bowl with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Grill the shrimp for 1 to 2 minutes per side or until just cooked through. Transfer shrimp to a clean medium bowl.

Heat 1/3 cup olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. When oil is hot, add the onion, garlic, and serrano chiles and cook until soft. Add the cumin and mustard seeds and cook for 1 minute. Add the vinegar, bay leaves, and cilantro and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat and immediately pour over the shrimp and stir to coat. Let cool to room temperature, cover, and then refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight, stirring a few times during that time. Transfer the escabeche, with a slotted spoon, to a platter and garnish with sliced radishes and torn cilantro.

Too Tart
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

While making this recipe last night,I kept tasting all the great flavors every few steps,and it was great,until the vinegar.... I used 1 cup, but it was still too much for my taste. I let it rest overnight thinking the flavors would mellow the vinegar, but not enough for me. If I make this again I'll use very little.Read more

Great dish over rice or risotto
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

We had this over brown rice and are glad we did because the habanero peppers make it quite spicy and I think without the rice... or risotto, it would set your hair on fire.Read more

Will try again
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I liked this recipe, it was easy and the finished product looked professional. The only downside was that I overcooked my... shrimp by 1 minute (not Bobby's fault!)the taste of vinegar sort of dominated the dish once complete. Going to try again and modify a bit.Read more

I loved this
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

The only reason I cannot give this a 5 star rating is to warn you that the meek will be put off by the richness of the... flavors. We have a little burrito place in San Jose that serves a basic Escabeche salsa (carrots, garlic, onions and jalapanos) with their chips. This recipe is authentic as they come. Bravo.Read more
