Ingredients

  • 10-12 good sized hand-dived scallops, trimmed and quartered. Clean and reserve 4 shells to serve in.
  • Juice of 2 limes, 1 lemons and 1 orange
  • 1 small shallot or red onion, sliced very thinly
  • 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 fresh green jalapeno chilli, deseeded and sliced very thinly
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon unrefined sugar
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 tablespoon parsley, chopped

Instructions

  • Combine all of the ingredients apart from the parsley in a bowl or plastic tub (not metal because it can taint the flavour). Ensure the scallops are submerged in the liquid.
  • Marinate for half an hour.
  • Stir in the chopped parsley and spoon the finished cerviche into four cleaned shells to serve.
