Shrimp Scallop Crab Ceviche With Chipotle Avocado Recipe 465

Steps:

• Put a 4-quart stockpot over high heat and fill with 2 quarts of water. Season the water with 1/4 cup kosher salt and bring to a boil. Once the water comes to a boil, add the shrimp to the pot and immediately turn off the heat. Let the shrimp sit until just cooked through, about 3 minutes. Remove the shrimp from the water and spread out on a sheet pan to cool.
• Once the shrimp are completely cooled, chop into 1/2-inch pieces and put in a medium-sized nonreactive bowl. Add the scallops, lemon, lime and orange juices and stir in the cucumber, red onion and chiles. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Stir the tomatoes, avocado, chopped cilantro, and olive oil into the shrimp and scallop mixture. Allow it to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes, then season to taste with kosher salt.
• To serve, divide the ceviche between 6 chilled martini glasses, garnish with cilantro leaves.

Steps:

• Toast the saffron, stirring over low heat, in a dry skillet until fragrant, then stir in the clam juice. Simmer until reduced to 1/2 cup, 5 to 6 minutes. Set saffron broth aside to cool. Whisk together the aj‭ amarillo, saffron broth, orange juice, and lime juice in a large bowl. Stir in diced and chopped vegetables and herbs.
• Now it's time to poach the seafood. Have the bowls of ice water ready. Cut the shrimp in half lengthwise. Remove any tough muscles from the sides of the scallops. Poach shrimp in 4 quarts simmering salted water, stirring occasionally until just cooked through, 40 seconds. Scoop out shrimp with a slotted spoon and add to one bowl of ice water. Return water to a simmer and poach scallops the same way, transferring them to the second bowl of ice water and discarding the cooking water. Drain the seafood well and toss it in the saffron broth mixture. Season with salt and your favorite hot pepper sauce to taste. (We used a fruity habanero chile sauce.) Chill the ceviche, covered, 1 hour and serve garnished with sliced jalapeños and a sprig of cilantro.

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.

Steps:

• Chop the raw shrimp and scallops (if necessary) into dime size pieces.
• Place in bowl and cover with lime juice, stir in the tequila.
• Mix, cover and refrigerate overnight. (This 'cooks' the seafood).
• Chop all vegetables and herbs/spices (except the avocado) into pieces smaller than the seafood and mix with the 1/4 cup lime juice and tequila. Add Tabasco Sauce. Stir, cover and refrigerate overnight.
• The next day drain the brine from the seafood. Pour the seafood into the vegetable mix. Toss. Serve with guacamole or sliced avocado, additional tabasco sauce on the side and tortilla chips.

Steps:

• Fill a large pot with 1 quart water. Cut 4 limes in half, and squeeze their juice into pot; add lime halves. Bring to a boil, then turn off heat; let mixture steep about 10 minutes. Return to a boil.
• Add shrimp to pot. As soon as water returns to a rolling boil, pour shrimp mixture into a colander; discard cooking liquid and limes. Return shrimp to pot; cover, and let stand 15 minutes. Transfer shrimp to a baking sheet and spread them out; let stand until cool enough to handle.
• Peel and devein shrimp, and cut into thirds. Transfer to a medium bowl; stir in 1/4 cup lime juice and the scallions, chiles, vinegar, thyme, and oregano. Let stand at room temperature 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
• When ready to serve, stir avocados, cilantro, and salt into shrimp mixture. Serve with tortilla chips.

Steps:

• Slice red onion and salt generously, and let stand 15 minutes until it begins to release its liquid. ( this will removed some bitterness). Rinse well.
• Place shrimps, scallops, garlic, onion, salt, pepper, chili, and lime juice in a shallow bowl, gently mix, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes before serving.
• Before serving, add cilantro, cucumber and tomato and a drizzle of olive oil, gently mix. Taste for salt.
• To make Avocado Sauce, blend the avocados, 1/3 cup cilantro, water, 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt & pepper, coriander, 1/8 cup lime juice and 2 garlic cloves in a blender until smooth, adding a bit more water if needed to get the blades going.

Steps:

• Place the shredded imitation crab into a glass or porcelain bowl. Plastic or metal are not recommended. Stir olive oil into the crabmeat until well coated, then stir in the cilantro, onion, tomato and serrano peppers. Squeeze the lime juice over everything, and mix well. Season with plenty of salt and pepper. Refrigerate for about 1 hour before serving.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, mix together the chunks of shrimp (and crab if using) and the juice of one lemon; season to taste with salt and black pepper. Set aside and chill (in the refrigerator or on ice) for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, prepare the ceviche by combining all the ingredients (add the avocados last, just before serving) in a large bowl with ice water, stirring well to combine. Drain well; fold in the shrimp, and season to taste with garlic powder and lemon pepper.
• Keep well chilled (preferably on ice) until serving time.
• Serve with tortilla chips and optional chili sauce.
• Ceviche must be served well-chilled, and is best served on the same day it is made.

Steps:

• Place first five ingredients in a glass or ceramic bowl (metal will react with the acidity of the lime). Refrigerate at least 16 hours, turning shrimp and scallops once or twice during that time to evenly distribute marinade. Before serving, prepare the remaining ingredients in a separate bowl. Mix thoroughly with marinated seafood and serve with a squeeze of avocado crema (see recipe below). *To seed a tomato, cut it in half crosswise, then gently squeeze each half, twisting your hand in a clockwise/ counterclockwise motion. Remove avocadoes from their skins, discarding pits. Place avocadoes into a blender. Add the lemon/lime juice and sea salt. Whir mixture until puréed, stopping the blender if necessary to rearrange contents for a complete purée. Place ceviche in individual chilled wine goblets or glass bowls. Squeeze a dollop of crema over each serving using a pastry bag, or fill a plastic bag with avocado crema, snip a corner tip of the bag, and use as you would a pastry bag.

Steps:

• Place the shrimp and lime juice into a large bowl, and stir to coat. Let stand for about 5 minutes, or until shrimp are opaque. The lime juice will cook them. Mix in the tomatoes, onion, and cilantro until coated with lime juice; cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Remove from the refrigerator, and mix in the Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, hot sauce, salt and pepper. We have our own hot sauce recipe, but you can use whatever hot sauce you like, or leave it out and let people add their own when serving.
• Serve in glass tumblers and top with avocado pieces. Set out extra Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, lime wedges and hot sauce for people to individualize their dish. Serve with saltine crackers.
