Seafood

Ceviche Marinade

For Steaming Mussels and Shrimp

For Serving

Method

Preparing the Ceviche

1

Make Ceviche Marinade

In a bowl, combine fresh lime juice, chopped red onion, chopped cilantro, finely chopped jalapeño, and salt. Mix well.

2

Prepare the Fish

Cut the fresh fish into small cubes and add to the marinade. Let it sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the fish to 'cook' in the lime juice.

3

Add Avocado

Just before serving, gently fold in the diced avocado.

Cooking Mussels and Shrimp

Cook Mussels

Add the mussels to the pot, cover, and steam for about 5-7 minutes until they open.
