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.

Time 3h20m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 lb shrimp, peeled, deveined, and chopped into bite-sized pieces (salad shrimp work great for this)
1/2 lb bay scallops or 1/2 lb sea scallops, chopped into bite-sized pieces
2 stalks celery, chopped
1/2 red onion, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1/2 cup lime juice (fresh is best!)
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 -2 garlic clove, chopped
fresh ground pepper
1 tablespoon seasoning salt (I like Morton's Nature's Seasoning)

Steps:

  • Chop all fresh ingredients and place in a large bowl.
  • 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.
  • Feel free to add tomatoes, corn, or anything else you might like. It is also okay to use all shrimp or all scallops or to substitute in just about any other shellfish or white fish that you like.
  • 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!

This salsa is a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think it would be great served with grilled shrimp or fish.

I love this salsa! It's so easy to make and it's always a crowd-pleaser. I like to add a little bit of chopped jalapeño to give it a bit of a kick.

This salsa is a refreshing and unique way to enjoy seafood. The flavors of the shrimp, crab, and avocado pair perfectly with the zesty lime and cilantro. I served this salsa with tortilla chips and it was a hit at my party.
