Steps:
- Bring 1 1/2 inches water and lime rinds to a boil in a wide pot; season generously with salt. Add corn; boil until bright yellow and crisp-tender, 3 minutes. Transfer corn to a plate. Add shrimp and fish to pot; remove from heat, cover, and let stand until shrimp are opaque and fish is cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to plate; let cool about 5 minutes. Discard lime. Cut corn from cobs.
- Stir together corn, tomatoes, jalapeno, onion, cilantro, lime juice, and oil. Remove skin from fish; flake into bite-size pieces and stir into corn mixture with shrimp. Let cool completely, stirring occasionally (or refrigerate, covered, up to 1 day). Season with salt and pepper. Serve seafood salad over lettuce, topped with corn nuts.

Steps:
- Juice 1 lime into a large saucepan, and add the rind, 1 quart water, 3 tablespoons orange juice and the zest, allspice, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and the pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium, and simmer for 10 minutes.

CRAB CEVICHE
This has always been a crowd pleaser in my home. This is wonderful as an appetizer served on tostadas or even with tortilla chips. Make sure to refrigerate before you serve, it tastes best when very cold. I like to serve on tostadas with a thin layer of mayonnaise for a nice refreshing lunch.
