Ceviche Shooter Recipes

Steps:

• For the hamachi ceviche: Cut the hamachi into bite-size (1-inch) cubes; place in a large bowl.
• Cut the ginger, jalapeno and bell pepper into matchsticks and then into small cubes ("brunoise"); add to the hamachi. Add the lime juice, lemon juice, scallions, cilantro, parsley and tarragon. Toss the ceviche and season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate.
• For the poblano shooter: Place the poblanos over a gas flame (or on a grill) and char until blistered on all sides, turning frequently, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Meanwhile, to a large pot, add the almond milk, potatoes, makrut lime leaves, bay leaves, achiote paste, curry paste, cumin, red pepper flakes, turmeric and some salt and pepper.
• Once the poblanos are charred, scrape away the skins, cut away the seeds and then add them to the pot. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-high heat and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender. Add a little more salt and pepper, then remove bay leaves and the makrut lime leaves. Transfer the contents of the pot to a blender; blend until smooth. Strain into a large bowl. Stir in the lime juice and add salt and pepper to taste.
• For the chips: Heat oil in a deep-fryer to 375 degrees F. Cut some corn tortillas into quarters and fry until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels and immediately dust with salt and cumin.
• To assemble: Fill shot glasses with the poblano shooter. Set a single chip atop each glass; spoon a teaspoon of ceviche onto each chip. Garnish with a parsley leaf.

Steps:

• Cut fish into small cubes. Spread the fish evenly in a large, non-reactive pan. Mix all of the citrus juice and pour over the fish. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours. The citrus juice will "cook" the fish throughout.
• Add the rest of the ingredients and season with salt, pepper and olive oil. Fill shot glass with gazpacho and garnish with a dollop of creme fraiche.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine lemon zest, parsley, and garlic. Place 1 teaspoon Bloody Mary in each of 12 shot glasses. Divide shrimp stock among glasses. Top with shrimp. Add the remaining Bloody Mary, and sprinkle with the lemon-parsley mixture. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• 1. Combine all the ingredients in a nonreactive bowl and stir to mix well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, and up to 16.
• 2. Spoon the ceviche into small (4-ounce) glasses and garnish with cilantro.

Steps:

• Remove the tough side muscles from scallops, if necessary; slice scallops in half horizontally.
• Fill a 1-quart saucepan 3/4 full with salted water and bring it to a boil. Add scallops and reduce heat to a bare simmer. Poach scallops until just cooked through, about 1 minute. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the scallops to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
• Return the water to a boil and poach shrimp in the same manner, transferring them to a bowl of ice water after they become opaque inside and turn pink, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Drain the scallops and shrimp well and pat dry; place them in a glass or ceramic bowl and pour in lime juice and orange juice. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Pour off most of the juice from the seafood (just leave it moist) and mix in orange zest, red onion, red and yellow bell peppers, tomato, chile pepper, cilantro, salt, cumin, and cayenne pepper. Refrigerate an additional 30 minutes. Just before serving, gently mix in avocado and drizzle the ceviche with olive oil. Serve in martini glasses or stemmed margarita glasses.
