Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the diced scallops and freshly squeezed lime juice. Let it marinate for 10 minutes to allow the acid from the lime to 'cook' the scallops.
- Add the finely chopped red onion, diced tomato, chopped cilantro, seeded and diced jalapeno, salt, and black pepper to the scallops. Mix well to combine all the flavors.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. This chilling time allows the flavors to meld beautifully and enhances the overall taste of the dish.
- Once ready to serve, give the mixture a gentle stir. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
- Serve the Callos de Hacha chilled, accompanied by crispy tortilla chips for scooping.
Tips
- For added flavor, consider adding a splash of orange juice to the marinade for a sweet contrast.
- You can also include diced avocado for creaminess, or even mango for a tropical twist.
- Ensure the scallops are fresh and of high quality, as they are the star of the dish.
