Summer Seafood Ceviche image

My favorite low-cal dish. I fell in love with this on vacation in Puerto Vallarta at the LeKliff restaurant. They served it in the shell of a coconut. Cool, spicy, light, fresh and delish! Not to mention low-cal, high protein, low carb and low fat! Measurements aren't exact and cooking time is chilling time. This is not traditional as I don't live near an ocean so I precook my seafood.. but you can cook the seafood by soaking in the lime juice for an hour if you prefer.
