Clam Ceviche Recipes

Steps:

• Place shrimp in a bowl (You may either coarsely chop the shrimp, or leave them whole, depending on your preference.) Add lemon, covering shrimp completely. Cover, and refrigerate for 30 minutes, or until opaque and slightly firm.
• Add tomatoes, onions, cucumber, radishes, and garlic; toss to combine. Gradually add cilantro and jalapenos to desired taste (jalapeno will grow stronger while marinating). Stir in tomato and clam juices to desired consistency. Cover, and refrigerate for 1 hour. Serve chilled with tortilla chips.

Steps:

• Shuck clams into a bowl with their juice. Save 16 of the best half shells, scrape them clean and refrigerate. Remove the clams from their juice and check for shell fragments. Cut into small pieces and place in bowl. Strain half of the juice over the clams, discard the rest.
• Add lime juice, jalapenos, onion, tomato, if using, and cilantro. Season with black pepper. Refrigerate overnight. Spoon the ceviche into the clam shells and serve on crushed ice.

Steps:

• Use a paring knife to gently pry apart clam shells and then cut meat away, discarding any gritty dark parts and a half-inch of the dark, hard siphon. Cut meat into half-inch pieces. Place in a bowl. Dice grapefruit segments and add them to the bowl with reserved juice, pink peppercorns, mint and olive oil. Fold together and refrigerate 3 hours.
• Season clam mixture with salt to taste. Serve in appetizer portions with chips, or drain well and pile onto chips to make canapés.

Steps:

• Gently pry clam shells open and cut out meat; dice meat into 1/2 inch pieces, discarding any dark, gritty parts and the dark, hard siphon, and place diced meat into a bowl.
• Dice grapefruit and add to bowl along with any reserved juice, the pink peppercorns, mint, and olive oil; stir to combine.
• Cover, and refrigerate 3 hours.
• After marinating, season the clam mixture with salt to taste.
• Serve with tortilla chips or drain well and serve piled on individual chips like a canape.
