Categories     Salad     Shellfish     Tomato     Appetizer     Poach     Scallop     Shrimp     Saffron     Summer     Jalapeño     Gourmet

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/4 teaspoon crumbled saffron
1 (8-oz) bottle clam juice
2 tablespoons diced red onion
2 tablespoons diced, seeded yellow tomato
2 tablespoons chopped scallions
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
3/4 to 1 teaspoon ají amarillo*

1 pound shelled and deveined shrimp
1/2 pound bay scallops (or quartered sea scallops)
a red and a green jalapeño chile, thinly sliced crosswise for garnish

Steps:

  • Toast the saffron, stirring over low heat, in a dry skillet until fragrant, then stir in the clam juice. Simmer until reduced to 1/2 cup, 5 to 6 minutes. Set saffron broth aside to cool. Whisk together the aj‭ amarillo, saffron broth, orange juice, and lime juice in a large bowl. Stir in diced and chopped vegetables and herbs.
  • Now it's time to poach the seafood. Have the bowls of ice water ready. Cut the shrimp in half lengthwise. Remove any tough muscles from the sides of the scallops. Poach shrimp in 4 quarts simmering salted water, stirring occasionally until just cooked through, 40 seconds. Scoop out shrimp with a slotted spoon and add to one bowl of ice water. Return water to a simmer and poach scallops the same way, transferring them to the second bowl of ice water and discarding the cooking water. Drain the seafood well and toss it in the saffron broth mixture. Season with salt and your favorite hot pepper sauce to taste. (We used a fruity habanero chile sauce.) Chill the ceviche, covered, 1 hour and serve garnished with sliced jalapeños and a sprig of cilantro.

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.

1 cup cucumber, peeled and diced into 1/4-inch pieces

  • 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!

SHRIMP AND SCALLOP CEVICHE WITH AVOCADO CREMA



SHRIMP AND SCALLOP CEVICHE WITH AVOCADO CREMA image

Categories     Fish     Marinate     Low Fat

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 16

3/4 lb. Uncooked Deveined Shrimp, tails pulled, cut in half the short way
3/4 lb. Uncooked Scallops, cut into quarters
1/2 c. Fresh Squeezed Lime Juice
1/4 tsp. Sea Salt
Fresh Ground Pepper
3/4 lb. Tomatoes, seeded* and diced (varicolored heirlooms work beautifully)
1/4 lb. Sweet Onion (Vidalia, Walla Walla ), diced small
1 Jalapeño Peppers, seeded and minced OR
2 small Serrano Peppers, minced (these will be spicier than the jalapeño)
1 Garlic Clove, minced
1/4 c. Parsley, chopped
1/4 c. Cilantro, chopped
Avocado Crema
1 large or 2 small avocadoes
1/4 c. Lemon or Lime Juice
1/4 tsp. Sea Salt

Steps:

  • Place first five ingredients in a glass or ceramic bowl (metal will react with the acidity of the lime). Refrigerate at least 16 hours, turning shrimp and scallops once or twice during that time to evenly distribute marinade. Before serving, prepare the remaining ingredients in a separate bowl. Mix thoroughly with marinated seafood and serve with a squeeze of avocado crema (see recipe below). *To seed a tomato, cut it in half crosswise, then gently squeeze each half, twisting your hand in a clockwise/ counterclockwise motion. Remove avocadoes from their skins, discarding pits. Place avocadoes into a blender. Add the lemon/lime juice and sea salt. Whir mixture until puréed, stopping the blender if necessary to rearrange contents for a complete purée. Place ceviche in individual chilled wine goblets or glass bowls. Squeeze a dollop of crema over each serving using a pastry bag, or fill a plastic bag with avocado crema, snip a corner tip of the bag, and use as you would a pastry bag.

Tips:

  • Fresh seafood is key: Use the freshest shrimp and scallops you can find. Fresh seafood has a sweeter, more delicate flavor and is less likely to be tough or chewy.
  • Properly clean the seafood: Make sure to devein the shrimp and remove the tough muscle from the side of the scallops. This will help to ensure that the ceviche is tender and flavorful.
  • Use a sharp knife: When cutting the seafood, use a sharp knife to ensure clean, even cuts. This will help to prevent the seafood from tearing or shredding.
  • Marinate the seafood for at least 30 minutes: The longer you marinate the seafood, the more flavorful it will be. However, do not marinate the seafood for more than 2 hours, or it will become tough.
  • Use a variety of citrus juices: A combination of citrus juices, such as lime juice, lemon juice, and orange juice, will give the ceviche a bright, refreshing flavor.
  • Add some heat: If you like spicy food, you can add some chopped jalapeño or Serrano pepper to the ceviche. Just be sure to remove the seeds and ribs of the peppers before chopping, so that the ceviche is not too spicy.
  • Serve the ceviche chilled: Ceviche is best served chilled. You can either refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes before serving, or you can serve it immediately over ice.

Conclusion:

Shrimp and scallop ceviche is a delicious, refreshing 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 its bright, citrusy flavor and tender seafood, shrimp and scallop ceviche is sure to be a hit with your guests.
