Time 1h50m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 young coconuts
1 cup mango, diced
¼ cup red onion, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons jalapeño, minced
1 tablespoon lime, zested
6 tablespoons lime juice
3 tablespoons coconut milk, shaken, full-fat
3 tablespoons fresh mint leaf, finely chopped
3 tablespoons fresh cilantro, finely chopped
1 teaspoon kosher salt
tortilla chip, or tostada shells, for serving

Steps:

  • Working 1 at a time, set a coconut on its side on a cutting board. First, remove the white husk from one end of the coconut to expose the brown shell underneath. Holding the coconut in place with one hand on the rounded end, carefully use the back end, or heel, of the knife to puncture the exposed coconut shell. Do not use any force other than the weight of the knife. Do this a few times, working in a circle until you can wedge your knife into the coconut shell and pop off the top. Drain the coconut water into a bowl and reserve for another use.
  • With the cut side of the coconut up, place the knife over the opening and cover the spine (dull side) of the knife with a folded kitchen towel. Using a meat mallet or other heavy kitchen utensil, like a rolling pin, whack the knife where the towel covers it. Repeat a few times until the coconut is cracked in half.
  • With a large spoon, scoop out the coconut meat. If necessary, clean the coconut meat by trimming off any hard or woody pieces of the shell. With a sharp knife, cut the cleaned coconut meat into 1 x ½-inch (2 ½ cm x 1 ¼ cm) strips.
  • In a medium bowl, toss together the coconut meat, mango, red onion, jalapeño, lime zest and juice, coconut milk, mint, and cilantro. Season with the salt, then stir again.
  • Cover the bowl and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, up to 3 hours.
  • Serve the ceviche chilled with tortilla chips or in a tostada shell.
  • Enjoy!

SHRIMP AND SCALLOP COCONUT CEVICHE



Shrimp and Scallop Coconut Ceviche image

Provided by Cat Cora

Categories     appetizer

Time 4h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/4 pound scallops
1/4 pound small to medium sized shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/3 to 1/2 cup lime juice, plus 2 tablespoons (about 7 to 10 limes for 1/2 cup)
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (about 2 medium lemons)
1/2 cup coconut milk
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 jalapeno, halved and seeded
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
1 clove garlic, peeled
1 mango, peeled, pitted and diced
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon salt (or lime salt)
1 tablespoon unsweetened coconut for garnish
1 coconut shell halved, optional

Steps:

  • Cook's Note: If the scallops are particularly thick, you may want to slice each scallop horizontally into 2 thinner disks.
  • Cut each scallop into 8 wedges. Cut the peeled shrimp into chunks that approximately match the size of the scallop wedges (unless you have rock shrimp, which doesn't need to be cut). In a medium bowl, pour enough lime juice over the scallop and shrimp pieces to cover. Toss gently so each piece is given a good lime juice bath. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place the bowl in the refrigerator to marinate for 4 to 10 hours. The shellfish is done when it's completely white and opaque and doesn't look or taste raw.
  • In a separate bowl, mix the remaining lime juice with the lemon juice, coconut milk, and olive oil. You can chop the jalapeno, cilantro, and garlic by hand, but if you have a food processor it's much easier to pulse the 3 together. Add the pepper mixture to the coconut mixture, and stir in the red onion. (You may add the mango chunks here if you like, but I prefer to add them right before serving.) Season the mixture with the salt and mix well. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for several hours or overnight.
  • When every chunk of shrimp and scallop is white with no hint of translucence, remove them from the juice. Discard the lime juice. Combine the seafood and the coconut milk mixture, tossing well. Add the mango chunks and gently toss together. Taste the seafood and add more salt or fresh lime juice, if desired.
  • For a knockout presentation, spoon the seafood ceviche into the coconut shell halves and top with a sprinkle of unsweetened coconut, if desired. Pile warm tortilla chips around the coconut shells, if desired.

Categories     appetizer

Time 55m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 lemon, halved
1 head garlic, halved
3 bay leaves
8 peppercorns
Sea salt
1 1/2 pounds large shrimp, peeled
2 cups coconut milk
1/2 cup lime juice (about 6 to 8 limes), plus more for drizzling
1 red onion, sliced thin
2 serrano chiles, sliced thin
1/2 bunch freshly chopped cilantro leaves, plus more for garnish
4 coconuts
2 cups rock or kosher salt, for serving
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling

Steps:

  • Make the ceviche: Put a large pot of water over high heat and add the lemon, garlic, bay leaves, peppercorns and salt, to taste. When it comes to a boil add the shrimp and turn off the heat. Let the shrimp poach just until they are cooked through, about 3 to 5 minutes. Remove the shrimp to a sheet pan and refrigerate. When they are cool slice them in half lengthwise. Combine the coconut milk, lime juice, onion, chiles, and cilantro in a large bowl and season it with salt. Add the cooled shrimp and let them marinate, refrigerated, for about 1/2 hour.
  • Prepare the coconut shells: Take a hammer and hit the coconut repeatedly (not too hard) around its equator, turning the coconut in your hand. It will eventually split into 2 halves. Drain the liquid from the coconuts.
  • To serve: Pour the salt onto a large platter and nestle the coconut halves into the salt so they stand upright. Divide the ceviche among the coconut halves; garnish with drizzles of lime juice, olive oil and cilantro.

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 x 6-ounce white fish fillets (such as sole, croaker, or grouper)
2 cloves garlic, very finely chopped
2 teaspoons limo chile (or substitute habanero), chopped
1 cup key lime or lemon juice
1 teaspoon chopped cilantro leaves
2 or 3 ice cubes
1 red onion, sliced into half-moon crescents
Salt and pepper
To serve:
1 corncob, cooked and kernels removed
1/2 sweet potato, boiled and sliced

Steps:

  • Cut the fish into 3/4-inch cubes, place in a bowl, and season with salt and pepper. After 1 minute, add the garlic and limo chile. Mix together well.

  • Serve in a large shallow bowl with cooked corn kernels and boiled sweet potato slices.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality fish. This is the most important ingredient in ceviche, so make sure you're using the best fish you can find. Look for fish that is firm and has a mild, fresh flavor.
  • Cut the fish into small pieces. This will help the ceviche cook evenly and will also make it easier to eat.
  • Marinate the fish in a mixture of citrus juice, salt, and pepper. This will help to flavor the fish and also to cook it. The longer you marinate the fish, the more flavorful it will be.
  • Add other ingredients to the ceviche, such as vegetables, herbs, and spices. This will help to add flavor and texture to the dish.
  • Serve the ceviche immediately. Ceviche is best served fresh, so don't let it sit around for too long before eating it.
