Ingredients:
- scallop prep the night before
- 1 lb fresh bay scallops (the little ones). more if this is a main course and adjust the other ingredients accordingly.
- 10-12 freshly squeezed limes
- sprigs of fresh cilantro
- 1 tbsp coriander/cilantro chutney available from indian grocery stores (i use the brand swad)
- sea salt & white pepper freshly ground to taste
- final prep
Directions:
- Rinse and drain the fresh scallops.
- Place the scallops in a glass bowl (non-porous)
- Squeeze the fresh limes and pour the juice over the scallops until the scallops are submerged and covered in the lime juice.
- Cover the bowl with cling wrap and refrigerate the scallops overnight. The citric acid from the lime juice 'cooks' the scallops.
- Final prep:
- Pour the scallops into a sieve and drain away the overnight lime juice. Remove the wilted cilantro leaves and any lime pulp from the scallops.
- Place the scallops in clean bowl and add...
- The finely diced shallot or small pearl onion
- The medium diced fresh tomato - seeds removed
- Coarsely chopped cilantro sprigs.
- Toss the scallops, onion, tomato and cilantro.
- Combine all the vinaigrette ingredents and whisk together.
- Pour the vinaigrette over the scallops and toss.
- Arrange large leaves of butter or Boston lettuce on plates and spoon scallop mixture into the lettuce leaf 'cups'.
- Garnish with lime wedges.
- This makes a light lunch or dinner, or a refreshing appetizer. We eat this as a main course on a hot day with fresh, crusty bread and either locally made goat cheese or fresh cucumber/dill/yogurt dip (Greek Tzatziki). The light cheese or yogurt dip is a nice foil for the tartness of the margarita ceviche. Depending on our mood, we'll drink either chardonnay or a German hefe-weizen beer. Of course, you can always have tequila margaritas!
