Steps:
- Put a 4-quart stockpot over high heat and fill with 2 quarts of water. Season the water with 1/4 cup kosher salt and bring to a boil. Once the water comes to a boil, add the shrimp to the pot and immediately turn off the heat. Let the shrimp sit until just cooked through, about 3 minutes. Remove the shrimp from the water and spread out on a sheet pan to cool.
- Once the shrimp are completely cooled, chop into 1/2-inch pieces and put in a medium-sized nonreactive bowl. Add the scallops, lemon, lime and orange juices and stir in the cucumber, red onion and chiles. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Stir the tomatoes, avocado, chopped cilantro, and olive oil into the shrimp and scallop mixture. Allow it to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes, then season to taste with kosher salt.
- To serve, divide the ceviche between 6 chilled martini glasses, garnish with cilantro leaves.

Steps:
- Whisk together juice, chile purée, onion, and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt in a large bowl for marinade.
- Halve squid tentacles lengthwise and cut bodies (including flaps, if attached) crosswise into 1/4-inch rings.
- Poach scallops and shrimp in a medium pot of barely simmering water, stirring occasionally, until barely cooked through, about 1 minute. Stir in squid and cook, stirring occasionally, until just tender, about 40 seconds.
- Drain seafood well in a colander and add to marinade. Marinate, uncovered and chilled, at least 3 hours (for flavors to develop).
- Just before serving, stir in cilantro. Spoon seafood into shallow bowls with a slotted spoon, then spoon marinade over it.
SHRIMP AND SCALLOP COCONUT CEVICHE
Steps:
- Cook's Note: If the scallops are particularly thick, you may want to slice each scallop horizontally into 2 thinner disks.
- Cut each scallop into 8 wedges. Cut the peeled shrimp into chunks that approximately match the size of the scallop wedges (unless you have rock shrimp, which doesn't need to be cut). In a medium bowl, pour enough lime juice over the scallop and shrimp pieces to cover. Toss gently so each piece is given a good lime juice bath. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place the bowl in the refrigerator to marinate for 4 to 10 hours. The shellfish is done when it's completely white and opaque and doesn't look or taste raw.
- In a separate bowl, mix the remaining lime juice with the lemon juice, coconut milk, and olive oil. You can chop the jalapeno, cilantro, and garlic by hand, but if you have a food processor it's much easier to pulse the 3 together. Add the pepper mixture to the coconut mixture, and stir in the red onion. (You may add the mango chunks here if you like, but I prefer to add them right before serving.) Season the mixture with the salt and mix well. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for several hours or overnight.
- When every chunk of shrimp and scallop is white with no hint of translucence, remove them from the juice. Discard the lime juice. Combine the seafood and the coconut milk mixture, tossing well. Add the mango chunks and gently toss together. Taste the seafood and add more salt or fresh lime juice, if desired.
- For a knockout presentation, spoon the seafood ceviche into the coconut shell halves and top with a sprinkle of unsweetened coconut, if desired. Pile warm tortilla chips around the coconut shells, if desired.
SHRIMP AND SCALLOP STIR-FRY
Steps:
- Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add asparagus, mushrooms, and onion; stir-fry until tender yet still firm to the bite, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
- Melt remaining butter in the same skillet. Stir-fry shrimp and scallops until almost opaque, about 2 minutes. Stir in parsley, garlic, salt, and pepper; cook for 1 minute more. Return cooked vegetables to the skillet; stir in lemon juice. Cook and stir until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes.

SHRIMP AND SCALLOP CEVICHE
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
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.

Steps:
- In a medium-sized stainless steel or clear glass bowl, place lemon, lime and orange juices.
- Stir in the shrimp, scallops, cucumber and red onion. If you are adding chiles or peppers, add them now as well.
- Refrigerate for 3 hours. The shrimp and scallops should have turned white (from opaque) meaning that the citrus juices have "cooked" them.
- 30 minutes prior to serving, remove from the fridge and stir in the tomato, avocado, chopped cilantro, and olive oil.
- 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!
- To serve, divide the ceviche between 6 chilled martini glasses.
SHRIMP AND SCALLOP CEVICHE (NO ONIONS)
I came up with this recipe after having great ceviche at Mojito's in Pasadena. My husband, Cooper, can't tolerate onions so I wanted to develop great flavor without onions.

Steps:
- Chop the raw shrimp and scallops (if necessary) into dime size pieces.
- Place in bowl and cover with lime juice, stir in the tequila.

- The next day drain the brine from the seafood. Pour the seafood into the vegetable mix. Toss. Serve with guacamole or sliced avocado, additional tabasco sauce on the side and tortilla chips.

Tips:
- Make sure your seafood is fresh. This is essential for any ceviche recipe, but especially for one that includes raw seafood. Look for seafood that is firm to the touch and has a mild, briny smell.
- Cut your seafood into small, even pieces. This will help the ceviche marinate evenly and cook more quickly.
- Use a good quality citrus juice. Freshly squeezed lime or lemon juice is ideal. Avoid using bottled or canned juice, as it will not have the same flavor or acidity.
- Add plenty of flavorings. Ceviche is a versatile dish that can be customized to your liking. Common flavorings include cilantro, onion, garlic, chili peppers, and avocado.
- Marinate the ceviche for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the seafood to soak up the flavors of the marinade and cook slightly.
- Serve the ceviche chilled. Ceviche is best served cold, so be sure to chill it for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Conclusion:
Scallop, shrimp, and squid ceviche is a delicious and refreshing seafood dish that is perfect for a summer party or gathering. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its bright and tangy flavors, this ceviche is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
