Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb prawns or tiger shrimp, peeled & deveined
- 1 cup sugarcane vinegar or any white vinegar
- 2 tbsp shallots or red onions, minced
- 2 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh garlic, minced
- 1 tsp small green chili, thinly sliced (optional)
- 1 tsp patis (fish sauce)
- 1/2 cup coconut milk
- 1/2 cup citrus juice (any ratio of either or both lemon and lime)
- 1/2 cup cucumber, peeled & seeded
- 1/2 cup Roma tomatoes, seeded and small diced
- Salt and ground white pepper to taste
- Cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Split the shrimp in half lengthwise along the spine and cut into smaller pieces; the smaller the cut the faster the shrimp will cure and influence the texture.
- Combine all ingredients and let marinate for about 10 to 15 minutes to cure the shrimp to your preferred doneness; you can let it sit longer to allow the raw shrimp to fully cure.
