Preparation

1. Preparing the Prawns
• Cut the prawns into small pieces and place them in a large bowl.
• Add the lime and orange juice, making sure the prawns are completely covered by the juice. The acidity of the juice will "cook" the prawns. Season with salt and pepper and leave to marinate in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours , or until the prawns turn opaque.
2. Prepare the Vegetables
• While the prawns are marinating, prepare the vegetables. Chop the onion, peppers, tomatoes and cucumber into very small cubes.
• Reserve a few cilantro leaves for garnish and finely chop the rest , as well as the serrano chiles and garlic.
3. Combine the Ingredients
• Once the prawns are "cooked" by the citrus marinade, add the chopped vegetables, cilantro, chilies and garlic.
• Mix all ingredients well.
• Let it rest in the refrigerator for a couple of hours .
4. Add the Gourmet Touch
• Just before serving, generously add Spherika yuzu spheres to the ceviche. These spheres will provide a burst of citrus flavor and a surprising texture that will perfectly complement the fresh and vibrant flavors of the ceviche.
5. Serve
• Serve the ceviche chilled on individual plates or on a large platter. Make sure to distribute the yuzu spheres evenly so that each bite contains its refreshing flavor.
• Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves and, if desired, add a few avocado wedges for a creamy touch and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil .

Benefits of Yuzu Spheres

Yuzu spheres not only provide a refreshing, citrusy flavour, but also add a unique visual and textural element to the dish. These spheres encapsulate the yuzu juice in a soft membrane that bursts in the mouth, releasing its intense flavour in a unique way. They are ideal for seafood dishes, salads and desserts, offering an innovative and sophisticated touch.
