BAY SCALLOP, SHRIMP, AND AHI TUNA CEVICHE IN TORTILLA CUPS



Bay Scallop, Shrimp, and Ahi Tuna Ceviche in Tortilla Cups image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Peanut oil, for frying
4 to 6 small, thin corn tortillas, about 8-inches in diameter
1/2 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/2 pound fresh baby bay scallops, side muscles removed
1/2 pound ahi tuna, diced
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 to 4 tablespoons fresh lime juice
6 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, plus 6 sprigs for garnish
1/2 medium red onion, cut into 1/4-inch cubes
1 medium, ripe tomato, peeled, seeded, and cut into 1/4-inch cubes
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In a large, heavy saucepan, heat 5 to 6 inches of oil to 375 degrees F. Fry the tortillas, 1 by 1, in the hot oil until they are soft, about 10 seconds and drain on paper towels. Reserve, covered, in a warm spot. Heat wire "potato nest" baskets in the hot oil for several seconds, or until they are very hot. Fit a soft tortilla into the bottom basket and place the smaller basket on top of the tortilla. Immerse the baskets in the hot oil and cook until the tortilla is crispy and golden brown. Remove the tortilla cup from the basket and invert on paper towels to drain. Repeat the procedure with the other tortillas. (If you don't have a potato nest basket, you can also lay the tortillas 1 by 1 on the surface of the hot oil, then immediately push the center to the bottom with a small, empty tin can, thus creating a free form cup. Be sure to use tongs and heat resistant gloves to protect yourself.)
  • Cut the shrimp into piece the same size as the bay scallops. Refrigerate the shrimp, ahi, and scallops separately.
  • In a bowl, mix together the olive oil, lime juice, cilantro, red onion, and tomato and add salt and pepper, to taste. Add the seafood to this mixture and marinate, in the refrigerator, for 15 minutes to 45 minutes.
  • Place the tortilla cups on plates. Divide the ceviche among the cups and garnish with sprigs of cilantro.

AHI TUNA AND BABY SHRIMP CEVICHE W/PAPAYA SALAD AND COCONUT



Ahi Tuna and Baby Shrimp Ceviche W/Papaya Salad and Coconut image

Ceviche is a non-cook prep method, letting the fish marinate and cook in citrus juices. The original recipe calls for Hamachi - also know as Amberjack - but this fish is not recognized by food.com. If you find it, use 1/2 cup of each type of fish. The ceviche needs to marinate for 1 hour so please plan ahead. Time for marinating is included in prep time.

TEDDY'S MOMMY'S PAN SEARED AHI TUNA WITH WASABI SAUCE



Teddy's Mommy's Pan Seared Ahi Tuna With Wasabi Sauce image

This is a combination of two recipes I found while looking around on the internet. One didn't have the sesame seeds and one had the sauce I wanted. So I mixed ideas. If your tuna isn't bright red and it flakes apart you won't want to use it for this dish. I am finding if it isn't the right color and isn't fresh it does not taste right. I have purchased steaks in individual plastic packs that have been pre-frozen from the fish counter with good results. In the picture you see it with a vegetable it is Recipe #91301.

Categories     Tuna

Time 30m

Yield 2 steaks, 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 ahi tuna steaks, 1/2 lb, 1-inch thick
1/2 cup white sesame seeds, toasted
1 tablespoon coriander seed, crushed (or 1/2 tablespoon coriander powder)
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon oil (vegetable, corn, canola, etc.)
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons wasabi paste
1/3 cup soy sauce (I use reduced sodium)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 1/2 teaspoons sesame oil
1 tablespoon dry sherry
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh gingerroot, minced
4 green onions, thinly sliced
1 cup daikon radish, grated use large holes on cheese grater

Steps:

  • Grate Daikon radish first, prep two plates with the radish laid out in a thin layer large enought to place a tuna steak on, leave out so it can get to room temperature (it isn't as good cold).
  • Mix together all sauce ingredients and set them aside.
  • Rinse tuna under cold water and pat dry.
  • Place sesame seeds, coriander, salt, and pepper into a bowl large enough to dip the steaks into. Mix the ingredients well.
  • Dip both sides of steaks into spice mix pressing down lightly to help the spices stick to the steaks.
  • Warm sesame, and regular oil in deep 10" (I use a non-stick) frypan over medium high heat(gas 8) until they're shimmery.
  • Carefully place both steaks into oil.
  • Keep an eye on the side of the steaks, when they start to slightly brown turn them over and brown the other side.
  • When done transfer steaks to cutting board and slice into 1/2" strips.
  • Then place on beds of daikon radish and pour half of sauce over each steak.
  • I usually serve this with a side of jasmine rice, or my recipe for wasabi mashed potatoes.

CEVICHE WITH AHI TUNA



Ceviche With Ahi Tuna image

This is my own creation using both modern and traditional ceviche methods. The key of course is fresh fresh Ahi. There's nothing better. Like 'butter'. [email protected] of the reasons that a really terrific Ceviche is , well, really terrific is the type of fish and/or seafood used. It MUST be absolutely of the freshest quality. A friend of mine and his girlfriend were recently in Hawaii and were raving about the quality of the Ahi there. We had a conversation on our foodservice professionals board ( www.restaurantbeast.com )about cryovac Ahi which is harvested in Hawaii and immediately IQF and placed in cryovac so that no oxygen can destroy it's freshness. Rumor has it that Roy Yamaguchi uses this type of Ahi for his restaurant in Palm Dessert (most likely not for his famous in Hawaii). My version is a bit of a cross between two different styles. Shrimp that has been quickly blanched pink, halibut or other sushi-grade fish can also be used in place of the Ahi.
