CITRUS CEVICHE WITH SHRIMP AND SCALLOPS



Citrus Ceviche With Shrimp and Scallops image

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.

Time 3h45m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 lb medium shrimp, peeled and deveined and cut into 1/2 inch pieces
1/2 lb bay scallop (the little ones)
2 lemons, juice of
2 limes, juice of
2 oranges, juice of
1 cup cucumber, peeled and diced into 1/4-inch pieces
1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
1 cup diced tomato
1 avocado, peeled, seeded, and chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
1 tablespoon roughly chopped cilantro leaf (may add more if you like)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)
1/2 teaspoon lemon pepper (optional)

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



Shrimp and Scallop Ceviche image

Categories     Salad     Shellfish     Tomato     Appetizer     Poach     Scallop     Shrimp     Saffron     Summer     Jalapeño     Gourmet

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/4 teaspoon crumbled saffron
1 (8-oz) bottle clam juice
2 tablespoons diced red onion
2 tablespoons diced, seeded yellow tomato
2 tablespoons chopped scallions
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
3/4 to 1 teaspoon ají amarillo*
6 tablespoons fresh orange juice
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
2 bowls of ice water
1 pound shelled and deveined shrimp
1/2 pound bay scallops (or quartered sea scallops)
a red and a green jalapeño chile, thinly sliced crosswise for garnish

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.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh and high-quality seafood. The quality of your seafood will greatly impact the flavor of your ceviche. Look for seafood that is firm, bright in color, and has a mild, briny smell.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the seafood. This will help to prevent the seafood from tearing or becoming mushy.
  • Cut the seafood into small, bite-sized pieces. This will make it easier to eat and will help the ceviche to marinate more evenly.
  • Use a variety of citrus juices. This will give your ceviche a more complex flavor. Lime juice is a classic choice, but you can also use lemon juice, grapefruit juice, or orange juice.
  • Add some chopped herbs and spices. This will help to brighten up the flavor of the ceviche. Some good choices include cilantro, parsley, red onion, jalapeño, and avocado.
  • Let the ceviche marinate for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will give the seafood time to absorb the flavors of the marinade.
  • Serve the ceviche chilled. This will help to keep the seafood firm and refreshing.

Conclusion:

Ceviche is a delicious and refreshing dish that is perfect for a summer party or a light lunch. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal taste. With a few simple tips, you can make a ceviche that is sure to impress your friends and family.
