Tips for Making Sea Scallop Ceviche:

  • Use fresh sea scallops. Fresh scallops have a sweet, briny flavor that is perfect for ceviche. If you can't find fresh scallops, you can use frozen scallops that have been thawed in the refrigerator overnight.
  • Slice the scallops thinly. This will help them to cook evenly in the lime juice. You can use a sharp knife or a mandoline to slice the scallops.
  • Use a good quality lime juice. Freshly squeezed lime juice has the best flavor. You can also use bottled lime juice, but make sure it is 100% lime juice and not a mix of lime juice and other juices.
  • Add the scallops to the lime juice and let them marinate for at least 30 minutes. This will help to cook the scallops and give them a bright, citrusy flavor.
  • Add your favorite vegetables and herbs to the ceviche. Some popular additions include diced red onion, chopped cilantro, and sliced avocado. You can also add a bit of heat with some diced jalapeño pepper.
  • Serve the ceviche immediately or chill it for later. Ceviche is best served fresh, but it can also be chilled for later. If you are chilling the ceviche, make sure to cover it tightly so that it doesn't dry out.

Conclusion:

Sea scallop ceviche is a refreshing and delicious appetizer or main course. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its bright, citrusy flavor and tender, succulent scallops, sea scallop ceviche is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
