BASIC CEVICHE
Super light and refreshing. I use the recipe without the fish (reduce the lime juice) as a topper for grilled tuna. Serves 4 as a lunch, 8 as an appetizer.

CEVICHE
This recipe is a staple in Mexico. Raw seafood is cooked by the lime juice! Now don't wrinkle your nose! You would never know the seafood was not cooked prior to serving. Make sure to always use the freshest ingredients! You may substitute many types of seafood for scallops, for example: halibut, red snapper, flounder, or swordfish.

Steps:
- Rinse scallops and place in a medium sized bowl. Pour lime juice over the scallops. The scallops should be completely immersed in the lime juice. Chill the lime juice and scallops all day or overnight until scallops are opaque (you cannot see through them).
- Empty 1/2 of the lime juice from the bowl. Add tomatoes, green onions, celery, green bell pepper, parsley, black pepper, olive oil, and cilantro to the scallop mixture. Stir gently. Serve this dish in fancy glasses with a slice of lime hanging over the rim for effect.

Steps:
- Place the shrimp in a large mixing bowl. Add 1/2 cup lime juice and let stand for 15 minutes so the shrimp can "cook" in the lime juice (any less and it won't cook, any more and it toughens).
- Meanwhile, in a separate large mixing bowl, mix the remaining 1/2 cup lime juice, cucumbers, tomatoes, cilantro, red onions and serrano chile to incorporate evenly. Transfer the mixed vegetables into the shrimp bowl and mix well to incorporate. Season the ceviche with some salt. Serve with saltine crackers, bottled hot sauce and lime wedges if desired.
MEXICAN CEVICHE
This dish is a regular served on the beaches of Mexico. Serve it as a seafood appetizer or as a side salad dish. You can alter it to suit your own taste. Make it as spicy or as mild as you wish. My friends all love it. I often use shrimp & fish or shrimp & scallops - when I do this I do not marinate the shrimp as the shrimp tend to get tough. I steam the shrimp and add them a few hours before serving as I mix all the ingredients together. In Mexico when they make this they often add sea water (not recommened). If you are using frozen fish, choose a firm-fleshed fish and make sure it is fully thawed with as much moisture as possible removed.

Tips:
- Use the freshest fish possible: The quality of your ceviche will depend on the quality of your fish. Look for fish that is firm and has a mild, briny smell.
- Choose the right fish: Not all fish are suitable for ceviche. Some of the best fish to use include tilapia, sea bass, halibut, and shrimp.
- Cut the fish into small pieces: This will help the fish to marinate more evenly and will make it easier to eat.
- Use a good quality ceviche marinade: There are many different ceviche marinades to choose from. Some common ingredients include lime juice, lemon juice, orange juice, cilantro, onions, and chili peppers.
- Marinate the fish for at least 30 minutes: This will give the marinade time to penetrate the fish and flavor it.
- Serve the ceviche chilled: Ceviche is best served cold. You can either refrigerate it for a few hours or serve it over ice.
Conclusion:
Ceviche is a delicious and refreshing dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With a few simple tips, you can make the perfect ceviche every time.
