Prawn and Scallop Ceviche

Ingredients

Tortilla chips

for serving

Salt

to taste

Jalapeno

1, finely chopped (adjust for desired spice level)

Fresh cilantro

1/4 cup, chopped

Red onion

1/2 cup, finely diced

Orange juice

1/4 cup, freshly squeezed

Lemon juice

2 tablespoons, freshly squeezed

Lime juice

1/4 cup, freshly squeezed

Scallops

1 cup, diced

Prawns

1 cup, peeled and deveined, chopped into bite-sized pieces

Instructions

1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the lime juice, lemon juice, and orange juice. This citrus base is essential for the marinating process.
2. Add the diced prawns and scallops to the citrus mixture. Ensure they are fully submerged in the juices as this will 'cook' the seafood.
3. Stir in the finely diced red onion, chopped cilantro, jalapeño, and salt. Mix well to ensure everything is evenly coated.
4. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. This resting period allows the seafood to absorb the flavors and the citrus to 'cook' the proteins.
5. Once ready, give the ceviche a gentle stir before serving. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
6. Serve the ceviche chilled accompanied by crispy tortilla chips for a delightful crunch.
