Ceviche, a culinary delight from South America, is a refreshing and zesty seafood dish that bursts with vibrant flavors. It is made with fresh, raw fish or seafood marinated in a tangy citrus-based sauce, typically consisting of lime juice, lemon juice, and orange juice. Ceviche can be prepared with various types of seafood, including fish like sea bass, halibut, or tilapia, and shellfish such as shrimp, scallops, or octopus. The citrus marinade "cooks" the seafood, resulting in a firm yet tender texture that is complemented by the bright and tangy flavors of the marinade. Ceviche is often served as an appetizer or main course, accompanied by sides like crispy tortilla chips, avocado slices, and fresh cilantro. This article provides three delectable ceviche recipes that cater to different preferences and dietary needs: Classic Peruvian Ceviche, Vegan Ceviche with Hearts of Palm, and Ceviche Aguachile. Each recipe offers a unique culinary experience, showcasing the versatility and global appeal of this tantalizing dish.

CEVICHE
This recipe is a staple in Mexico. Raw seafood is cooked by the lime juice! Now don't wrinkle your nose! You would never know the seafood was not cooked prior to serving. Make sure to always use the freshest ingredients! You may substitute many types of seafood for scallops, for example: halibut, red snapper, flounder, or swordfish.

CITRUS CEVICHE WITH SHRIMP AND SCALLOPS
This is a twist on a Emeril Lagasse recipe from 2005. Recipe is healthy, flavorful, and easy to prepare. My family doesn't like "hot" stuff, so this recipe is mild. That being said, feel free to add serrano chiles or jalapeno peppers to your taste. I made about 4 different ceviches the other day for taste testing (yes, my husband is spoiled) and this was our favorite. NOTE: I have made this several times since the original posting and wanted to post a quick update. Feel free to sub sweet bell pepper (diced) for the cucumber. Also add salt and lemon pepper to taste at the end AFTER it is "cooked". I usually let mine "cook" for 6 hours, not the 3 recommended.

Steps:
- In a medium-sized stainless steel or clear glass bowl, place lemon, lime and orange juices.
- Stir in the shrimp, scallops, cucumber and red onion. If you are adding chiles or peppers, add them now as well.

- 30 minutes prior to serving, remove from the fridge and stir in the tomato, avocado, chopped cilantro, and olive oil.
- Serve in martini glasses with saltine crackers on the side if you want to be fancy, otherwise just put the bowl out with a few spoons and a whole bunch of saltine crackers and tortilla chips and let everyone dig in!
- To serve, divide the ceviche between 6 chilled martini glasses.

MEXICAN CEVICHE
This dish is a regular served on the beaches of Mexico. Serve it as a seafood appetizer or as a side salad dish. You can alter it to suit your own taste. Make it as spicy or as mild as you wish. My friends all love it. I often use shrimp & fish or shrimp & scallops - when I do this I do not marinate the shrimp as the shrimp tend to get tough. I steam the shrimp and add them a few hours before serving as I mix all the ingredients together. In Mexico when they make this they often add sea water (not recommened). If you are using frozen fish, choose a firm-fleshed fish and make sure it is fully thawed with as much moisture as possible removed.

CEVICHE WITH AHI TUNA
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.

Steps:
- Blanche shrimp in boiling water for about 1 minute, then shock in ice cold water. Strain when cooled.
- Cut shrimp into 1-inch pieces and add to bowl.
- Add citrus juice and marinate for 2 hours.
- Add red onion, tomatoes, chilies and cilantro, marinate for 2 more hours.
- Add avocados and cucumber before serving.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality seafood: The quality of the seafood is paramount in ceviche, so make sure to use the freshest fish and shellfish you can find. Look for fish that is firm and has a mild, briny smell. Avoid fish that is slimy or has a strong odor.
- Cut the seafood into small pieces: This will help the ceviche to cook evenly and will make it easier to eat. The traditional way in Ecuador is to use fingernail-sized pieces of seafood.
- Use a variety of seafood: This will add flavor and texture to the ceviche. Some popular choices include shrimp, fish, scallops, and octopus.
- Use a good quality citrus juice: The citrus juice is what will "cook" the seafood, so it is important to use a fresh, high-quality juice. Lime juice is the traditional choice, but you can also use lemon juice or grapefruit juice.
- Add other ingredients to taste: There are many different ingredients that you can add to ceviche to taste. Some popular choices include onions, cilantro, tomatoes, avocado, and chili peppers.
- Marinate the ceviche for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the seafood to absorb the flavors of the citrus juice and the other ingredients. The longer you marinate the ceviche, the more flavorful it will be.
- Serve the ceviche chilled: Ceviche is best served chilled, so make sure to refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Conclusion:
Ceviche is a delicious and refreshing dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste.
