The Coconut Mango Ceviche Recipes

THE COCONUT MANGO CEVICHE RECIPE

Steps:

• Dice the fish fillets and place them in a bowl.
• Juice the limes. Cover the fish with the juice and the coconut milk, and set aside for at least a couple of hours.
• Dice the mango and the avocado and place them in a second bowl. Chop the shallot and the cilantro leaves and add them to the bowl. Season with the olive oil the cayenne pepper and salt to taste.
• Once the fish is ready (whiten by the lemon juice) drain it and mix the two bowls contents.
• Salt to taste and serve (or refrigerate, or place in mason jars for your diner en blanc picnic).
• Tortillas, tortilla chips or mini tacos are Mango & Coconut Ceviche's best friends.

SHRIMP AND SCALLOP COCONUT CEVICHE

Steps:

• Cook's Note: If the scallops are particularly thick, you may want to slice each scallop horizontally into 2 thinner disks.
• Cut each scallop into 8 wedges. Cut the peeled shrimp into chunks that approximately match the size of the scallop wedges (unless you have rock shrimp, which doesn't need to be cut). In a medium bowl, pour enough lime juice over the scallop and shrimp pieces to cover. Toss gently so each piece is given a good lime juice bath. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place the bowl in the refrigerator to marinate for 4 to 10 hours. The shellfish is done when it's completely white and opaque and doesn't look or taste raw.
• In a separate bowl, mix the remaining lime juice with the lemon juice, coconut milk, and olive oil. You can chop the jalapeno, cilantro, and garlic by hand, but if you have a food processor it's much easier to pulse the 3 together. Add the pepper mixture to the coconut mixture, and stir in the red onion. (You may add the mango chunks here if you like, but I prefer to add them right before serving.) Season the mixture with the salt and mix well. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for several hours or overnight.
• When every chunk of shrimp and scallop is white with no hint of translucence, remove them from the juice. Discard the lime juice. Combine the seafood and the coconut milk mixture, tossing well. Add the mango chunks and gently toss together. Taste the seafood and add more salt or fresh lime juice, if desired.
• For a knockout presentation, spoon the seafood ceviche into the coconut shell halves and top with a sprinkle of unsweetened coconut, if desired. Pile warm tortilla chips around the coconut shells, if desired.

COCONUT CEVICHE RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Working 1 at a time, set a coconut on its side on a cutting board. First, remove the white husk from one end of the coconut to expose the brown shell underneath. Holding the coconut in place with one hand on the rounded end, carefully use the back end, or heel, of the knife to puncture the exposed coconut shell. Do not use any force other than the weight of the knife. Do this a few times, working in a circle until you can wedge your knife into the coconut shell and pop off the top. Drain the coconut water into a bowl and reserve for another use.
• With the cut side of the coconut up, place the knife over the opening and cover the spine (dull side) of the knife with a folded kitchen towel. Using a meat mallet or other heavy kitchen utensil, like a rolling pin, whack the knife where the towel covers it. Repeat a few times until the coconut is cracked in half.
• With a large spoon, scoop out the coconut meat. If necessary, clean the coconut meat by trimming off any hard or woody pieces of the shell. With a sharp knife, cut the cleaned coconut meat into 1 x ½-inch (2 ½ cm x 1 ¼ cm) strips.
• In a medium bowl, toss together the coconut meat, mango, red onion, jalapeño, lime zest and juice, coconut milk, mint, and cilantro. Season with the salt, then stir again.
• Cover the bowl and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, up to 3 hours.
• Serve the ceviche chilled with tortilla chips or in a tostada shell.
• Enjoy!

MANGO CEVICHE

Steps:

• Cut the flounder into 1 1/2-inch squares. Place in a glass, ceramic or stainless bowl, mix with the juice of 3 of the limes, cover and refrigerate overnight, mixing once, to marinate.
• Shortly before serving, remove the fish from the lime juice with a slotted spoon, draining well, and place the pieces in a shallow serving bowl. The fish should be white and opaque. Discard the liquid.
• Mix the fish with the juice of the remaining lime, the jalapeno pepper, scallion and coriander. Gently fold in the mango and avocado. Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate again and serve within 30 minutes.
