Recipe Notes
This is a variation of our other Seviche recipe to show how many different flavors can go into this simple, healthy and lovely dish. It can be sweet or spicy and you can use any fish that you like. Don’t limit yourself to shrimp and scallops – use calamari, mussels or a firm white fish like grouper. Corn works great as a garnish in place of red onions or tomatoes.
We usually cut the fish into smaller pieces – about a half an inch at the largest – and they should be nearly uniform in size so that they cook at the same rate.
Because of the acids used in seviche it is best to use a non-reactive container to mix and store this recipe. Glass or stainless steel are best. I avoid using ceramic because older glazed pottery can contain lead. The acid will react with the lead in some glazes but also with bowls made from aluminum, copper and plastic.
