Ingredients
Passion Fruit-Shrimp Salsa:
1 ripe passion fruit
4 or 5 extra large shrimp (about 4 ounces), peeled, deveined, and diced
2 teaspoons olive oil
1/4 cup finely minced Maui onion
1/2 cup peeled, seeded, and finely diced tomatoes
2 tablespoons finely sliced scallions
1 tablespoon finely minced fresh cilantro
1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
Seared Ahi:
4 Ahi tuna steaks, about 7 ounces each
3 tablespoons peanut oil
Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
Passion Fruit-Shrimp Salsa (recipe above)
Directions
- Scoop out the pulp from the passion fruit and press through a fine sieve. Reserve the juice (about 1 teaspoon). Coat the shrimp in olive oil and sear in a skillet on high heat until cooked through. Transfer to a stainless steel mixing bowl, add the passion fruit juice and the remaining ingredients, and toss well to combine.;
Seared Ahi:
- Prepare the salsa and set aside. Coat the Ahi steaks with peanut oil and season with salt and pepper. Heat a dry cast-iron skillet and sear the Ahi over high heat for about 15 to 20 seconds each side for rare (about 1 minute each side for medium-rare). Place the steaks on serving plates and spoon the salsa over the tuna, letting the juices from the salsa run onto the plates.;
