Let's Make Ceviche!

Ceviche is very easy to make.  At best it's an uncomplicated dish of fish and assorted seafood mixed with your choice of compliments all marinated in citrus juice.  Any seafood can be used to make ceviche, just make sure that it's fresh as can be.  
 
Today we're making halibut and shrimp ceviche. :)

Ingredients:
 
1 lb halibut filet
1 lb raw shrimp
1/2 cup onion - diced (1/2 a medium)
1/2 cup tomato - diced (1 small roma)
1 medium jalapeno - diced
1 medium thai pepper - diced
2 tbsp minced fresh cilantro
juice of 6 limes
 
Directions:
 
Skin, bone and dice the fish into roughly half inch pieces.  Peel the shrimp and cut into thirds.  Dice up the tomato, onion and peppers.  Add everything to a stainless or glass bowl and then pour in the lime juice.  Stir to combine and add the cilantro.  Season to taste with salt and a bit of pepper powder it you'd like.  That's it!

I usually let it sit a couple hours so the seafood cooks and the flavors marry.  Here's the dish plated:

Nice looking ceviche!!
 
I could quite easily eat the lot of that and still come back for more. Ive not seen thai chili use before but i imagine it would work very well.

Sweet ...
 
Have to give it a shot, but especially because you used halibut and shrimp, what I'd be most likely to try/enjoy ...
 
:CHEERS:

nice.  I make it a work sometimes for a special, we like to mix the leftover juices with vodka and shoot shots lol

more fun to make it when i have fresh habanero and yellow 7 pots.
 
Ahhh, how nice it would be o work where jedi works. To do vodka shots at work. :dance:
 
We used to close the day with a bottle of beer on Friday, but that was 15 years ago. :mope: The lawyers put a stop to that. 
 
 
Oh, and you killed it S-n-F. I've never had that before, but looks great.

I should really like this ... it's literally made of the same things I eat often, and colors I like, just using the acid to cook ...

I like it with a big bowl of chips & guac on the side, but I'm sure there are healthier crisp fare that would work.  :) 
 
This is why new topics for food are good, lots of replies, put this in a seafood topic from 2009 and a couple people post, and the same people... new topics = new audience. Just my opinion... :D
