Servings: 4

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.
