Use a sharp knife to thinly slice the scallops. This will help them to cook evenly and will also make them more tender.
Use a variety of citrus juices in your ceviche. This will give the ceviche a bright and flavorful taste.
Add some chopped vegetables to your ceviche. This will add color and texture to the dish.
Serve the ceviche immediately or chill it for a few hours before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
