Ceviche Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Seafood

    In a large glass or ceramic bowl, combine the Gulf shrimp, scallops, and tilapia. Pour the lime and lemon juice over the seafood, ensuring it is fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for 2-3 hours until the seafood is opaque and 'cooked' by the acid.

  2. 2

    Add Vegetables

    After marinating, drain excess juice from the seafood. Gently fold in the diced tomatoes, chopped red onion, and cilantro.

  3. 3

    Season and Serve

    Season the ceviche with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve chilled in small bowls or margarita glasses, garnished with additional cilantro if desired.
