Ingredients
- 1/2 lb bay scallops thawed and cut into pieces
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice or lime juice
- 1/4 cup cherry tomatoes diced
- 1/4 cup cucumber diced, optional
- 2 tbsp red onion sliced thin and washed in an ice bath then patted dry
- 2-3 tbsp mango ripe, diced, optional
- 1 tbsp fresh cilantro or parsley chopped
- 1 tbsp jalapenos diced
- 1/4 tsp Himalayan salt
- 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients together in a non-reactive bowl or container (glass or ceramic is best) and toss to ensure that all pieces are combined in the lemon/lime juice.
- Cover your ceviche and let marinate for at least 20 minutes or as long as 60 minutes before serving.
- Serve with any chip of your choice from tortilla (corn or flour) to plantain chips or tostadas, or you can also use potato chips if you prefer.
- Keep your ceviche chilled and store any leftovers in the fridge in an airtight glass or ceramic container for up to 3 days. This dish should not be frozen.
Notes
- Note about this dish in accordance with the department of health: Consuming raw or undercooked meats, poultry, seafood, shellfish, or eggs may increase your risk of foodborne illness, especially if you have certain medical conditions.
- A note about the scallops: Since this recipe uses RAW seafood you want to be sure you're using the freshest scallops and that includes frozen ones which can actually be fresher than thawed ones since they are processed and flash frozen immediately after being harvested.
- Your scallops should smell like nothing once thawed or raw. At most it should have a clean, slightly briny ocean smell to it. However, if you get even the slightest hint of fishiness do not use those scallops for this recipe. If you're nervous about using raw scallops you can steam or boil your scallops for 2-3 minutes until fully cooked, then cool and use as directed in the recipe - the texture will be different if you use this method.
