Miguels Ceviche Recipes

MIGUEL'S CEVICHE

Steps:

• In a small, nonreactive bowl, combine the shrimp, grouper, ginger, garlic and 1 teaspoon of salt. Add the juice of 1 lemon and the juice of 1 lime. Toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add corn and boil for 5 minutes. Cool in a bowl of cold water. Remove, pat dry and use a large knife to cut the kernels from the cob. Discard the cobs and refrigerate the kernels.
• Place a cup of water in a large saucepan and bring to a boil. Add the mussels, cover the pan and steam until the mussels just open, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain immediately and set aside. When cool enough to handle, remove the mussel meat and refrigerate, discarding the shells and any unopened mussels.
• Drain excess liquid from the shrimp and grouper and transfer to a large bowl. Add the corn, mussels, clams and oysters with their juice, cilantro, onion and celery. Add juice of the remaining lime and lemon and toss. Season with salt to taste. Divide the mixture among 4 small plates or martini glasses and serve.

THE BEST CEVICHE RECIPE!

Steps:

• Slice the red onion thinly with the grain, and toss in a bowl with 1 teaspoon salt and the lime juice, coating well.
• Add the fish, garlic and fresh chilies, and gently mix.
• Add the tomatoes, cucumber, cilantro and olive oil, and give a stir and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving (45-60 minutes is ideal). The longer you marinate the firmer and more "cooked" the fish will become.
• Before serving, taste and adjust the salt and heat. Add more salt or chilies if you like. If adding avocado, gently fold it in right before serving- you may need to add a pinch more salt.
• To make the optional Avocado Sauce, blend all ingredients in a blender until smooth, adding a bit more water or oil, if needed to get the blades going.
