Last year we found ourselves happily in Playa del Carmen for a much needed rest. Our friend Charles knew of a fabulous cervicheria called Aquas Calientes. This place is amazing with the freshest seafood ceviches. The varieties were astounding and we keep wishing we were there again. Here is a recreation of one of the offers on the menu. Of course it tasted better in Mexico!
- 1 pound of bay scallops
- 3 limes
- 1 lemon
- 1/4 of fresh orange juice
- 1/4 cup of onion
- 1 jalapeno
- 3 small orange tomatoes
- 1 avocado
Rinse scallops, dry and cut in half. Juice the citrus and add to the scallops, chop the onion, jalapeno and tomatoes and refrigerate all for at least 2 hours. Right before serving add the chopped avocado and a little salt and pepper. Serve with tortilla chips and or quesidillas!
