Skeeter's Ceviche

By: Skeeter

"Ceviche is a wonderful seafood salad marinated in lime juice. This is a recipe that is better the longer it sits. It is best done the day before and allowed to 'cook' in the lime juice overnight. "

Footnotes

Cook's Notes
Real Ceviche is 'cooked' by the acid in the lime juice; however some people prefer to cook the shrimp and scallops first, it's your choice. If you would like to cook the shrimp and scallops before adding them, don't 'over cook' them they get chewy.
Bring a quart of salted water to a boil and add 2-3 tablespoons of Zatarains® Shrimp/Crab Boil. Once the water comes to a boil add your shrimp and scallops and bring back to boil once it boils again remove and drain in colander in cold water. Allow to cool and then add to your bowl and mix well. Refrigerate until ready to serve at least 2-3 hours.
