We made this using fresh salmon and it was outstanding! Let it marinate for 2 hours for the perfect texture, then serve with avocado. Mmmm!
Spicy Shrimp and Scallop Seviche
To make sturdy baked chips to dip in the seviche, sprinkle flour tortilla wedges with ground red pepper, and bake at 350° until golden brown. Blanching the seafood in boiling water gives it a head start before it finishes "cooking" in the citrus mixture. Marinate the seafood only a couple of hours; if it sits too long, it will become tough.
