Default Ceviche ( Caribbean Recipes )


Prep Time: 30 minutes or less | Cook Time: 3+ hours | Serves: 2
Dinner » Seafood » Central

Ingredients:






For those who need a bit of background, Ceviche is a South American dish composed of white fish, shrimp, scallops on their own or mixed together, with lots of coriander and sometimes corn and beans. Its not cooked with heat, but with the acid of citrus fruit; namely lime.

More information on ceviche can be found on the dish at the Wikipedia entry: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceviche

While my ceviche is far from being authentic, I was glad to have made it as I hadn't had it since I was traveling on business to Miami over 3 years ago and some of the Peruvians I was working with treated me to a fantastic dinner.

Here are my ingredients:

10 fresh limes. (these gave me just over a cup of fresh juice but you can use the easier to use juice made from concentrate as well)
4 large scallops
6 extra large shrimp
A nice piece of halibut. (Ask your fishmonger to give you about 1 serving's worth)
1/2 a red onion
1 or 2 chiles
1 jalepeno pepper
1/2 cup fresh coriander (also known as cilantro)

Start with your limes.
