- 1/2 lb bay scallop (the little ones)
- 2 lemons, juice of
- 2 limes, juice of
- 2 oranges, juice of
- 1 cup cucumber, peeled and diced into 1/4-inch pieces
- 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 1 cup diced tomato
- 1 avocado, peeled, seeded, and chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
- 1 tablespoon roughly chopped cilantro leaf (may add more if you like)
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon pepper (optional)
- In a medium-sized stainless steel or clear glass bowl, place lemon, lime and orange juices.
- Stir in the shrimp, scallops, cucumber and red onion. If you are adding chiles or peppers, add them now as well.
- Refrigerate for 3 hours. The shrimp and scallops should have turned white (from opaque) meaning that the citrus juices have "cooked" them.
- 30 minutes prior to serving, remove from the fridge and stir in the tomato, avocado, chopped cilantro, and olive oil.
- Serve in martini glasses with saltine crackers on the side if you want to be fancy, otherwise just put the bowl out with a few spoons and a whole bunch of saltine crackers and tortilla chips and let everyone dig in!
- To serve, divide the ceviche between 6 chilled martini glasses.
