Looking for an alternative to your traditional method for serving shrimp? This Shrimp in Red Escabeche by Rick Bayless is it. Rick Bayless recipes are known for being cutting-edge, but this dish is “doable haute cuisine.” Shrimp recipes can be boring, but not in this case! This recipe for shrimp in red escabeche has a tangy, sweet flavor that is reminiscent of barbecue sauce. It is packed with red chiles, which not only add flavor, but plenty of healthy components to the dish. It also features red onions and cilantro, giving it an authentic Mexican flavor. Traditionally, the dish is served warm, but it tastes great chilled, too. It is great with rice or served with a crisp summer salad. Leftovers are also great for heating up and reserving the next day.
The dish also utilizes Rick’s own Frontera brand salsa, but you can make your own salsa or substitute another brand if Frontera is not available in your area.
