FRESH SEAFOOD SALSA

Fresh Seafood Salsa image

I adapted this recipe after having the lobster-shrimp ceviche at San Pedro restaurant in Hudson, Wisconsin. You'll find many uses for this versatile dish. You can substitute the shrimp and scallops with lobster or any hearty white fish. All measurements are approximate. The seafood cooks in the lime juice...there is no need to cook it ahead.

1/2 cup lime juice (fresh is best!)

Add the chopped seafood.
Slowly add lime juice until everything is just covered. You may need more than is recommended in the ingredients list.
Add seasoning salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.

Refrigerate at least 3 hours.
You can drain off a little of the lime juice if you like, but I don't find this necessary.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve with tortilla chips or as a garnish to a fish dish. I'm sure you can find many uses for this delicious salsa!

FRESH RESTAURANT-STYLE SALSA

This addictive salsa is restaurant quality, or maybe even better! It's fresh and flavorful, not too spicy, and easy to make in a food processor with a mix of ripe and canned Roma tomatoes.

Eileen's Fruit Salsa for Fish or Chicken image

I made this up when we were having fish. Everyone loved it, and it has been used ever since. Easy to make. I use a plastic spoon to serve so as not to have the acid in the salad cause the taste to change when a metal spoon is used.

Tips for Making and Serving Fresh Seafood Salsa:

Select fresh seafood. The key to great seafood salsa is using fresh, high-quality ingredients. Fish and shrimp are excellent choices, and you can also use crab, lobster or scallops.
Cook seafood properly. Generally, you'll want to cook your seafood protein until it's just cooked through - this will help preserve its flavor and texture.
Use a variety of vegetables. Salsa is a great way to use up leftover vegetables, and it's also a good way to add color and texture to your dish. Tomatoes, onions, peppers and cilantro are all classic salsa ingredients, but you can also add other vegetables like corn, avocado or black beans.
Add some heat. If you like spicy food, add a jalapeño or cayenne pepper to your salsa. You can also add other spices like cumin, chili powder or paprika.
Use fresh herbs. Fresh herbs like cilantro, basil or oregano can add a lot of flavor to your salsa. Chop them finely and add them to the salsa just before serving.

Conclusion:

Seafood salsa is a delicious and refreshing appetizer or snack. It's perfect for parties or potlucks, and it's also a great way to use up leftover seafood. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can easily make a delicious seafood salsa that everyone will love.
