Conch Ceviche Scallop Crudo Hybrid image

This recipe is neither a crudo nor a ceviche; it is an interpretation and hybrid of the two. This is one of those recipes that came together after the proper peppers never came for a classic ceviche. I took the base knowledge of how to make a proper leche de tigre and interpreted that in this dish.

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups ice water
4 cloves garlic
3 shallots
3 limes, juiced
1 lemon, juiced
1 orange, juiced
1 habanero, seeded
1/2 papaya, juiced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 pound scallops
1 pound conch, cleaned and sliced thinly
2 pimento peppers, thinly sliced
Olive oil, for drizzling

Steps:

  • Combine the ice water, garlic, shallots, lemon, lime and orange juices, habanero and papaya juice in a blender and puree until smooth. The consistency should be thin and loose. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Wash and pat dry the scallops. Thinly slice and reserve in the fridge.
  • Add the conch to half of the marinade; the remaining marinade can be reserved in the fridge for up to a week to utilize for grilled summer seafood or another batch of ceviche.
  • Divide the sliced scallops between low bowls and serve the marinated conch on top. Top with the sliced pimentos and a drizzle of olive oil.
