Ceviche is basically a citrus marinated seafood dish from South America. And for some of you that don’t know, the citric acid (lemon/ lime juice) is what pickles or cooks the seafood without heat. In this ceviche I used shrimp, scallops, tomatoes, a red onion, jalapeno, cilantro, limes, lemons, oranges, avocados, salt, pepper, olive oil, chipotle habanero sauce and Clamato. Yes Clamato…

dice everything…

Add lime, orange and lemon juice to diced raw seafood and let cook in the frig for 3 to 7 hours. Add diced veggies with the seafood citric acid mixture and let sit in the frig for another 30 minutes. Now here’s the fun part, if you don’t like it too bitter take some of the juice (lime/ lemon/ orange) out and add more tomatoes, ketchup or even Clamato. If you like it spicy add more diced peppers or hot sauce. You can even have it sweet by adding mango, papaya or even more orange juice, it’s up to you. I just took out a little bit of the juice and added some  Clamato, diced avocados, olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic and chipotle habanero sauce for spice.

When I cook I taste the food so much that by the time it’s finished I don’t feel like eating it anymore. This time I was smart and put aside a couple pieces of shrimp and scallops. These are just seasoned and pan seared…
