CITRUS CEVICHE WITH SHRIMP AND SCALLOPS



Citrus Ceviche With Shrimp and Scallops image

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.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will directly impact the flavor of your ceviche. Use the freshest fish and seafood you can find, and make sure your citrus fruits are ripe and juicy.
  • Choose the right fish or seafood: Not all fish and seafood are suitable for ceviche. Some good choices include shrimp, scallops, octopus, and white fish such as tilapia or halibut.
  • Cut your fish or seafood into small pieces: This will help the ceviche to cook evenly and absorb the flavors of the marinade.
  • Use a variety of citrus fruits: Different citrus fruits have different flavors, so using a variety will give your ceviche a more complex flavor profile. Some good choices include limes, lemons, oranges, and grapefruit.
  • Add other flavorings to taste: In addition to citrus fruits, you can also add other flavorings to your ceviche, such as onions, cilantro, jalapeños, and avocado.
  • Marinate the ceviche for at least 30 minutes: This will give the fish or seafood time to absorb the flavors of the marinade.
  • Serve the ceviche chilled: Ceviche is best served chilled, so make sure to refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Conclusion:

Citrus ceviche is a refreshing and flavorful dish that is perfect for a summer party or potluck. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious ceviche that will impress your friends and family.
