WOW Your Guests with a Scallop Ceviche with Finger Limes

WOW Your Guests with a Scallop Ceviche with Finger Limes.

Ingredients:

1 pound bay scallops, finely diced
8 limes, juiced ( I added some freshly squeezed lemon juice to completely cover the scallops)
2 tomatoes, diced
¼ cup red onion or shallots, finely diced
½ green bell pepper, minced
¼ cup cucumber, finely diced
½ red pepper, finely diced
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1/8 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
Finger limes

How to make:

Rinse scallops and place in a medium sized bowl. Dice the scallops finely. Pour lime juice over the scallops. The scallops should be completely immersed in the lime juice. Chill the lime juice and scallops for at least a half hour or longer until the scallops are opaque (you cannot see through them). This means they are “cooked.”

Empty 1/2 of the lime juice from the bowl. Add cucumber, onion, cucumber, green and red bell peppers, parsley, black pepper, olive oil, and cilantro to the scallop mixture. Stir gently. Serve this dish in fancy glasses with a slice of lime hanging over the rim for effect if you like. If you have finger limes squeeze “pearls” onto the top of each serving glass. Serve extra finger limes for each guest.
