Ceviche

By LadyRev-2

This is a basic Ceviche recipe. When I make it, I use only shrimp. I do let it marinate in the lime juice, but only after I have cooked it. Then I follow the rest of the recipe.

Ingredients

• 1 pound fresh conch or scallops, or combination
• 1 cup fresh lime juice
• 1 cup diced avocado
• 1/2 cup minced red onion
• 1/2 cup finely chopped seeded tomato (I don’t seed)
• 1/4 cup cilantro (I actually use more)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 teaspoons minced jalapeno
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon cayenne or a few shakes of the Tabasco green sauce
• 1/4 teaspoon cumin

Preparation

Step 1

Pat the seafood dry and place in a glass bowl. Cover with the lime juice and let marinate until opaque, about 3 hours, refrigerated. Place the seafood in a clean bowl, and reserve the lime juice.

Add the remaining ingredients to the seafood, gently stirring to mix. Add reserved lime juice to taste. Refrigerate for 1 hour, and serve chilled in a tall martini or cocktail glass.
