Scallop Shrimp Coconut Ceviche Recipes

SCALLOP CEVICHE (KINILAW NA SCALLOPS)

Steps:

• Mix scallops with spiced coconut vinegar in a large bowl. Cover and chill 15 minutes or to desired firmness. Drain immediately, reserving vinegar, and arrange on small plates or in quartered coconut shells.
• Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Add garlic; cook and stir until golden brown and lightly crispy, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Mix tomatoes, red onion, ginger, Thai chile, and calamansi with reserved vinegar. Top scallops with tomato mixture and sprinkle with green onions and fried garlic. Finish with a sprinkle of lemon zest and fleur de sel.

SHRIMP AND SCALLOP CEVICHE

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.

SHRIMP AND SCALLOP CEVICHE

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.

SCALLOP & SHRIMP COCONUT CEVICHE

Steps:

• In a medium-sized prep bowl, whisk together the lime juice, lemon juice, orange juice, minced garlic and chili peppers until entirely combined.
• Add the seafood to this and toss to coat evenly and entirely (you want to submerge the seafood as much as possible, because the acidity from the juice is what will "cook" the seafood). Cover and place in the fridge to marinate for at least one hour.
• Remove from the fridge and add in the rest of the ingredients (other than the salt). Toss to coat entirely, cover and place back into the fridge for at least another hour.
• Remove from the fridge and strain the liquid through a fine-mesh sieve or strainer. Reserve roughly 1/2 cup of the liquid and add it back into the bowl. Add salt to taste.
• Garnish with some extra cilantro and serve cold.

CITRUS CEVICHE WITH SHRIMP AND SCALLOPS

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.

COCONUT SHRIMP CEVICHE

Steps:

• Make the ceviche: Put a large pot of water over high heat and add the lemon, garlic, bay leaves, peppercorns and salt, to taste. When it comes to a boil add the shrimp and turn off the heat. Let the shrimp poach just until they are cooked through, about 3 to 5 minutes. Remove the shrimp to a sheet pan and refrigerate. When they are cool slice them in half lengthwise.
• Combine the coconut milk, lime juice, onion, chiles, and cilantro in a large bowl and season it with salt. Add the cooled shrimp and let them marinate, refrigerated, for about 1/2 hour.
• Prepare the coconut shells: Take a hammer and hit the coconut repeatedly (not too hard) around its equator, turning the coconut in your hand. It will eventually split into 2 halves. Drain the liquid from the coconuts.
• To serve: Pour the salt onto a large platter and nestle the coconut halves into the salt so they stand upright. Divide the ceviche among the coconut halves; garnish with drizzles of lime juice, olive oil and cilantro.
