Best Scallop Ceviche With Avocado Recipes

FOOLPROOF SCALLOP CEVICHE WITH TOMATOES AND AVOCADO

Steps:

• Remove the small, connective muscle on the side of each scallop if it is still attached. You can use fresh or frozen scallops. If they are frozen, no need to thaw them.
• Fill a medium saucepan with water and add lemon slices, crab boil mix, and salt. Bring to a boil, then lower heat to a gentle simmer.
• Add scallops and return to a simmer. Cook until just barely cooked through, this can take anywhere from 1-5 minutes depending on your starting with frozen scallops or not. Remove one from the cooking liquid and press gently they should still be a little translucent and have a bit of give. It's better to undercook them than overcook them. They will cook the rest of the way when they get tossed with the lime juice mixture.
• Drain scallops and spread in a single layer on a large plate. Chill in the refrigerator while you make the ceviche marinade.
• Combine lime juice, tomatoes, avocado, jalapeños, tangerine juice, and cilantro in a large bowl.
• Slice each scallop in half horizontally so you have two thinner rounds. Toss scallops in ceviche mixture and chill for at least 1 hour and up to 3 hours in advance.
• Right before serving, stir mixture again and taste to see if it needs any more salt or lime juice. Serve on tostada shells and garnish with radish slices.

SHRIMP AND SCALLOP CEVICHE WITH AVOCADO CREMA

Steps:

• Place first five ingredients in a glass or ceramic bowl (metal will react with the acidity of the lime). Refrigerate at least 16 hours, turning shrimp and scallops once or twice during that time to evenly distribute marinade. Before serving, prepare the remaining ingredients in a separate bowl. Mix thoroughly with marinated seafood and serve with a squeeze of avocado crema (see recipe below). *To seed a tomato, cut it in half crosswise, then gently squeeze each half, twisting your hand in a clockwise/ counterclockwise motion. Remove avocadoes from their skins, discarding pits. Place avocadoes into a blender. Add the lemon/lime juice and sea salt. Whir mixture until puréed, stopping the blender if necessary to rearrange contents for a complete purée. Place ceviche in individual chilled wine goblets or glass bowls. Squeeze a dollop of crema over each serving using a pastry bag, or fill a plastic bag with avocado crema, snip a corner tip of the bag, and use as you would a pastry bag.
