This fusion version of ceviche is “cooked” with fresh Thai lime juice, although if you have calamansi juice, use that instead. Of course, the seafood is not actually cooked, but if you leave it marinating long enough, the texture and colour change so that it looks cooked – the scallops turn from opaque to off-white while the shrimp become white/pink.
In addition to the lime juice, the ceviche is flavoured with fish sauce, garlic, shallot, bird’s-eye chilli and fresh coriander. It is then served with avocado (the richness of which balances the acidity), radish and tortilla chips, which give a nice crunch.
As with other types of ceviche, you can eat it while the seafood is still almost raw (marinated for two hours or less), or leave it in the fridge for longer, so the texture becomes firmer.
Buy the freshest seafood you can find from a reputable supplier. Frozen scallops are fine as long as they haven’t been injected with a preservative. The flash-frozen ones from Japan tend to be good, although they are expensive. If using fresh scallops, trim off the roe or coral, and use only the scallop flesh. The coral and roe are delicious when sautéed in butter and seasoned with salt and pepper.
