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:

• To poach the shrimp: Boil 2 qts of lightly salted water. Add the lemon and shrimp. Turn off the heat, cover and let sit until the shrimp are cooked through, about 3 minutes depending on the size of the shrimps. Place in ice until cool. Peel and clean. Refrigerate until ready to use For Scallops: Combine scallops and 1 c. of lime juice. Refrigerate for about 3 hrs, stirring occasionally until 'cooked' through (The time will vary depending on the size of the scallop pieces) Strain and refresh with ice to firm up. Ceviche: Combine the crab, shrimp and scallops Add in chipotle marinade, red onion, juice of one lime and cilantro. Chill for at least 30 minutes Garnish with avocado and additional cilantro 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:

• 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:

• 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.
