CITRUS CEVICHE WITH SHRIMP AND SCALLOPS

Steps:

• In a medium-sized stainless steel or clear glass bowl, place lemon, lime and orange juices.
• Stir in the shrimp, scallops, cucumber and red onion. If you are adding chiles or peppers, add them now as well.
• Refrigerate for 3 hours. The shrimp and scallops should have turned white (from opaque) meaning that the citrus juices have "cooked" them.
• 30 minutes prior to serving, remove from the fridge and stir in the tomato, avocado, chopped cilantro, and olive oil.
• Serve in martini glasses with saltine crackers on the side if you want to be fancy, otherwise just put the bowl out with a few spoons and a whole bunch of saltine crackers and tortilla chips and let everyone dig in!
• To serve, divide the ceviche between 6 chilled martini glasses.

MEXICAN SHRIMP & SCALLOPS RECIPE - (4.3/5)

Steps:

• Mix all of the ingredients in a bowl with the exception of the olive oil. Marinate for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Remove the shrimp and scallops from the marinade. Heat olive oil over medium high heat in a large pan. Saute seafood just until shrimp is pink on both sides (about 5 minutes), the scallops only need a quick sear, about 1/2 a minute on each side.

CILANTRO SCALLOPS

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, mix together 1/4 cup olive oil, the lime juice, soy sauce, cilantro, chile flakes and garlic. Sprinkle the scallops with salt and pepper. Add the scallops to the marinade, cover with plastic and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in medium, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the scallops from the marinade, discard the marinade, and place the scallops in the skillet. Sear until lightly browned and cooked to desired doneness, 2 to 3 minutes per side for medium-rare. Arrange the scallops decoratively on a platter and serve with lime wedges.
