Radish and Mexican shrimp appetizer
Makes 10 bite sized appetizers
Ingredients
1/2 large white onion, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon coriander powder
1/4 teaspoon cumin powder
1/4 teaspoon chipotle powder
10 large sized shrimp (31-40 per lb), peeled and deveined
1 pinch kosher salt
1 ripe tomato, small diced
1 tablespoon sourcream
1 tablespoon cilantro, roughly chopped
1-2 tablespoon olive oil, for sauteing
5-6 radishes (I used Easter egg), sliced
10 tortilla chips (scoops would also work great)
Method
1. On medium heat add the olive oil to a medium sized saute pan. Add the onions and saute until soft and cooked through – about 5-7 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for a minute – don’t let it burn!
2. Add the coriander powder, cumin powder and chipotle powder and saute until the spices are fragrant. Add the shrimp and cook for 3-5 minutes, until they turn pink.
3. Add the tomatoes and saute for about 30 seconds. Add salt and check for seasoning. Set aside.
4. In order to assemble, add a few slices of radish on each tortilla chip and then place a shrimp along with a some of the onion mixture on top. Place another radish slice on top of the shrimp and put a dainty dollop of sour cream on top of that. Finally scatter some chopped cilantro on top. Enjoy!
