Seviche Recipes

SHRIMP SEVICHE COCKTAIL

Steps:

• Place all of the ingredients in a non-reactive bowl or dish. Refrigerate at least 4 hours. Drain off the liquids and discard them. Serve the shrimp in chilled martini glasses.

SHRIMP CEVICHE

Steps:

• Place the shrimp in a large mixing bowl. Add 1/2 cup lime juice and let stand for 15 minutes so the shrimp can "cook" in the lime juice (any less and it won't cook, any more and it toughens).
• Meanwhile, in a separate large mixing bowl, mix the remaining 1/2 cup lime juice, cucumbers, tomatoes, cilantro, red onions and serrano chile to incorporate evenly. Transfer the mixed vegetables into the shrimp bowl and mix well to incorporate. Season the ceviche with some salt. Serve with saltine crackers, bottled hot sauce and lime wedges if desired.

CEVICHE

Steps:

• Spread the fish evenly in a large, non reactive pan. Mix all of the citrus juice and pour over the fish. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours. The citrus juice will cook the fish throughout. Add the rest of the ingredients and season with salt and pepper. Serve with tortilla chips or your favorite cracker.

MEXICAN CEVICHE

Steps:

• Dice the fish (approximately 1/2-inch dice if using shrimp use cleaned shrimp).
• Marinate fish in the lime juice in the fridge overnight (this step cooks the fish).
• Stir often.
• Pour off most of the lime juice (just leave it moist).
• Add remaining ingredients except lettuce, avocado and olive. Do this preferably a few hours before serving & refrigerate.
• Toss well and arrange in individual serving bowls that are lined with the lettuce leaves.
• If you wish garnish with sliced avocado and sliced black olives.

CEVICHE

Steps:

• In a large glass bowl, combine the fish, lime juice and onion. The juice should completely cover the fish; if not, add a little more. Cover with cling film and place in the fridge for 1 hr 30 mins.
• Remove the fish and onion from the lime juice (discard the juice) and place in a bowl. Add the olives, chilies, tomatoes, coriander and olive oil, stir gently, then season with a good pinch of salt and sugar. This can be made a couple of hours in advance and stored in the fridge. Serve with tortilla chips to scoop up the ceviche and enjoy with a glass of cold beer.

SEVICHE

Steps:

• In a saucepan over medium heat, add the sliced onions and add just enough water to cover. Bring to a simmer and cook just enough to soften. Remove from heat and drain. Rinse with cold water and drain.
• Take one 1 large tomato and score an 'X' , skin deep, on the top and bottom. Place in the same saucepan used for the onions and add enough water to cover. Bring to a simmer and cook until soft and the skin starts to peel, about 5 minutes. Remove the tomato and rinse under cold water until it's cool enough to hold in your hand. Using your fingers or the blade of a knife, gently peel off the skin. Place the peeled tomato in a blender and puree.
• In a large glass dish or bowl, combine the onions, olive oil and lemon juice. Stir in the oysters, pureed tomato, diced tomato, green onions, ketchup and soy sauce. Season with garlic salt, parsley, sugar, and salt to taste.

SEVICHE

Steps:

• Rinse the scallops and cut them into large, bite-size pieces. Add the onions, garlic and salt, and enough lemon juice to cover the mixture. Cover and let the mixture marinate at least two hours, preferably overnight.
• Prepare the scallions, tomatoes and hot peppers, but keep the hot peppers separate from the others.
• Put the scallops in a strainer to drain off all excess lemon juice. Add all remaining vegetables, except the hot peppers. Add oil; you may use some olive oil, but too much will be too strong a flavor for the delicate scallops. Mix well, but gently with the hands. Taste for salt; add more if necessary.
• If you are using them, add hot peppers to taste, remembering that there are many varieties of strength.
• Serve on lettuce leaves.

BEST EVER CEVICHE!!!

Steps:

• combine all ingredients in a large bowl and mix together well.
• Best to let it sit in the fridge for a few hours to allow the flavors to fully blend together but can be served as soon as it's made if desired.
• serve cold either on tostada shells, as a dip with chips, or in a dish to eat alone.
• May be garnished with lettuce, avacado, and black olive if desired.

CEVICHE

Steps:

• Rinse scallops and place in a medium sized bowl. Pour lime juice over the scallops. The scallops should be completely immersed in the lime juice. Chill the lime juice and scallops all day or overnight until scallops are opaque (you cannot see through them).
• Empty 1/2 of the lime juice from the bowl. Add tomatoes, green onions, celery, green bell pepper, parsley, black pepper, olive oil, and cilantro to the scallop mixture. Stir gently. Serve this dish in fancy glasses with a slice of lime hanging over the rim for effect.
