Best Shrimp And Scallop Ceviche Recipes

SCALLOP, SHRIMP, AND SQUID "CEVICHE"

Steps:

• Whisk together juice, chile purée, onion, and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt in a large bowl for marinade.
• Halve squid tentacles lengthwise and cut bodies (including flaps, if attached) crosswise into 1/4-inch rings.
• Poach scallops and shrimp in a medium pot of barely simmering water, stirring occasionally, until barely cooked through, about 1 minute. Stir in squid and cook, stirring occasionally, until just tender, about 40 seconds.
• Drain seafood well in a colander and add to marinade. Marinate, uncovered and chilled, at least 3 hours (for flavors to develop).
• Just before serving, stir in cilantro. Spoon seafood into shallow bowls with a slotted spoon, then spoon marinade over it.

SHRIMP AND SCALLOP COCONUT CEVICHE

Steps:

• Cook's Note: If the scallops are particularly thick, you may want to slice each scallop horizontally into 2 thinner disks.
• Cut each scallop into 8 wedges. Cut the peeled shrimp into chunks that approximately match the size of the scallop wedges (unless you have rock shrimp, which doesn't need to be cut). In a medium bowl, pour enough lime juice over the scallop and shrimp pieces to cover. Toss gently so each piece is given a good lime juice bath. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place the bowl in the refrigerator to marinate for 4 to 10 hours. The shellfish is done when it's completely white and opaque and doesn't look or taste raw.
• In a separate bowl, mix the remaining lime juice with the lemon juice, coconut milk, and olive oil. You can chop the jalapeno, cilantro, and garlic by hand, but if you have a food processor it's much easier to pulse the 3 together. Add the pepper mixture to the coconut mixture, and stir in the red onion. (You may add the mango chunks here if you like, but I prefer to add them right before serving.) Season the mixture with the salt and mix well. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for several hours or overnight.
• When every chunk of shrimp and scallop is white with no hint of translucence, remove them from the juice. Discard the lime juice. Combine the seafood and the coconut milk mixture, tossing well. Add the mango chunks and gently toss together. Taste the seafood and add more salt or fresh lime juice, if desired.
• For a knockout presentation, spoon the seafood ceviche into the coconut shell halves and top with a sprinkle of unsweetened coconut, if desired. Pile warm tortilla chips around the coconut shells, if desired.

SHRIMP AND SCALLOP CEVICHE

Steps:

• Toast the saffron, stirring over low heat, in a dry skillet until fragrant, then stir in the clam juice. Simmer until reduced to 1/2 cup, 5 to 6 minutes. Set saffron broth aside to cool. Whisk together the aj‭ amarillo, saffron broth, orange juice, and lime juice in a large bowl. Stir in diced and chopped vegetables and herbs.
• Now it's time to poach the seafood. Have the bowls of ice water ready. Cut the shrimp in half lengthwise. Remove any tough muscles from the sides of the scallops. Poach shrimp in 4 quarts simmering salted water, stirring occasionally until just cooked through, 40 seconds. Scoop out shrimp with a slotted spoon and add to one bowl of ice water. Return water to a simmer and poach scallops the same way, transferring them to the second bowl of ice water and discarding the cooking water. Drain the seafood well and toss it in the saffron broth mixture. Season with salt and your favorite hot pepper sauce to taste. (We used a fruity habanero chile sauce.) Chill the ceviche, covered, 1 hour and serve garnished with sliced jalapeños and a sprig of cilantro.

BAY SCALLOP, SHRIMP, AND AHI TUNA CEVICHE IN TORTILLA CUPS

Steps:

• In a large, heavy saucepan, heat 5 to 6 inches of oil to 375 degrees F. Fry the tortillas, 1 by 1, in the hot oil until they are soft, about 10 seconds and drain on paper towels. Reserve, covered, in a warm spot. Heat wire "potato nest" baskets in the hot oil for several seconds, or until they are very hot. Fit a soft tortilla into the bottom basket and place the smaller basket on top of the tortilla. Immerse the baskets in the hot oil and cook until the tortilla is crispy and golden brown. Remove the tortilla cup from the basket and invert on paper towels to drain. Repeat the procedure with the other tortillas. (If you don't have a potato nest basket, you can also lay the tortillas 1 by 1 on the surface of the hot oil, then immediately push the center to the bottom with a small, empty tin can, thus creating a free form cup. Be sure to use tongs and heat resistant gloves to protect yourself.)
• Cut the shrimp into piece the same size as the bay scallops. Refrigerate the shrimp, ahi, and scallops separately.
• In a bowl, mix together the olive oil, lime juice, cilantro, red onion, and tomato and add salt and pepper, to taste. Add the seafood to this mixture and marinate, in the refrigerator, for 15 minutes to 45 minutes.
• Place the tortilla cups on plates. Divide the ceviche among the cups and garnish with sprigs of cilantro.

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.
