A chilled ceviche of bay scallops, lime, avocado, cilantro, and hearts of palm is served in scallop shells atop a bed of rock salt. If the scallops are too large they may be cut in half before marinating. Similarly, if you need to substitute sea scallops you may cut them into 1/2-inch pieces.

CEVICHE-STYLE SCALLOPS



Ceviche-Style Scallops image

When preparing a simple scallop dish, buying high-quality scallops is half the battle. Because scallops are often soaked in a phosphate solution that plumps them with water to bump up cost, it's important to look for scallops that are labeled "dry" or "dry-packed." (A phosphate-marinated scallop may taste like soap.) Good scallops need little more than a squeeze of lime, but sliced chile pepper and a handful of cilantro bring brightness to this easy summer dish.

Time 5m

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 large scallops
Thinly sliced red onion
Thinly sliced fresh Serrano or Thai chiles
Salt and pepper
Fresh lime juice
Cilantro leaves

Steps:

  • Slice the scallops into thin rounds and arrange them in an even layer on a plate. Scatter some onion and chiles on top. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Squeeze a generous amount of lime juice on top. Serve right away, or wait for up to 30 minutes. (The scallops will gently "cook" in the lime juice.) Garnish with cilantro leaves.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality scallops. This is essential for ensuring that your ceviche is delicious and safe to eat. Look for scallops that are plump and have a slightly briny smell.
  • Slice the scallops thinly. This will help them to marinate quickly and evenly.
  • Use a variety of citrus juices. This will give your ceviche a more complex flavor. Lime juice is a classic choice, but you can also use lemon juice, orange juice, or grapefruit juice.
  • Add some heat. If you like spicy food, you can add some chopped chili pepper or jalapeño to your ceviche. You can also use aji amarillo paste, a Peruvian chili paste.
  • Don't overcook the scallops. Ceviche is a raw dish, so the scallops should only be marinated for a short period of time. Otherwise, they will become tough and rubbery.
  • Serve the ceviche immediately. Ceviche is best served fresh. Once it has been marinated, it should be eaten within a few hours.

Conclusion:

Scallop ceviche is a delicious and refreshing dish that is perfect for a summer party or a light lunch. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. If you are looking for a new way to enjoy scallops, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
