Yield 6 as appetizer

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 pound extra-large shrimp (21 to 25 per pound), large sea scallops, skinless fish fillets, or a combination
1 teaspoon grated lime zest from 1 lime
1/2 cup juice from 4 limes
1/2 cup juice from 4 lemons
1 small red bell pepper , stemmed, seeded, and chopped fine
1 jalapeno chile (small), stemmed, seeded, and minced
1 medium garlic clove , minced or pressed through a garlic press (about 1 teaspoon)

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
4 scallions , sliced thin
1 cup cherry tomatoes , quartered
3 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro leaves
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 ripe avocado , pitted and diced fine
Ground black pepper

Steps:

  • 1. If using shrimp, peel them completely, devein, and slice each shrimp in half lengthwise using a paring knife (through the deveined groove in the back). If using scallops, remove the side tendon (see illustration below) and slice into 1/3-inch-thick rounds. If using fish, remove any bones and slice into 1-inch squares about 1/3 inch thick. 2. Stir the lime zest, lime juice, lemon juice, bell pepper, jalapeƱo, garlic, and 1/2 teaspoon salt together in a medium bowl. Gently stir in the seafood, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until the seafood is firm, opaque, and appears cooked, 45 to 60 minutes, stirring halfway through the marinating time. 3. Place the mixture in a fine-mesh strainer, leaving it a little wet, then return to the bowl. Gently stir in the oil, scallions, tomatoes, cilantro, and sugar followed by the avocado. Season with salt and pepper to taste before serving.

Marinating fish in citrus adds vibrant flavor, and the juice's acid turns the flesh opaque and firms up its texture, so it looks cooked. Combined with bright aromatics, this dish is cool, light, and simple to make.

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 cups fresh lime juice (from 10 limes)
1/2 cup fresh orange juice (from 1 orange)

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Coarse salt and ground pepper

Steps:

  • Pour lime juice and orange juice through a sieve set over an 8-inch square glass baking dish. Arrange red snapper fillet in a single layer in dish (fish should be completely covered by juice).

Tips:

  • Use the freshest fish possible. Ceviche is a raw fish dish, so it's important to use fish that is as fresh as possible.
  • Choose a firm-fleshed fish. Fish that is too soft will fall apart when it's marinated in the citrus juice.
  • Cut the fish into small pieces. This will help the fish to marinate more evenly.
  • Use a variety of citrus juices. Lime juice is the traditional choice for ceviche, but you can also use lemon juice, orange juice, or grapefruit juice.
  • Add other ingredients to taste. Common additions to ceviche include tomatoes, onions, cilantro, and avocado.
  • Marinate the fish for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
  • Serve ceviche chilled. Ceviche is best served cold, so chill it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Conclusion:

Ceviche is a delicious and refreshing dish that is perfect for a summer party or a light lunch. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a new way to enjoy fish, give ceviche a try!
