Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup fresh squeezed orange juice
  • 1/2 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup fresh squeezed lime juice
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/8 teaspoon New Mexico Red Chile Powder or paprika
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 20 bay scallops
  • 1/2 medium Vidalia Onion finely chopped
  • 16 medium Shrimp peeled, deveined and tails removed
  • 1 green onion white and some of the green chopped
  • 1/2 jalapeno diced
  • 1 olive oil
  • 1/8 cup cilantro rough chopped
  • 3/4 cup tomato diced
  • 1/2 avocado rough chopped
  • a couple dashes of hot sauce

Instructions

  • Add orange juice, lemon juice, lime juice, chile powder, ketchup and garlic to a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, add shrimp and bay scallops; and let poach in liquid, about 2 minutes. Using a sieve, drain shrimp and scallops over a bowl and reserve juice mixture.
  • Chop shrimp to resemble the size of the scallops. Place shrimp and scallops on a plate and put in the fridge to chill. Cool down the citrus mixture by placing it in the freezer for 30 minutes.
  • Add diced tomato, the onions, jalapeno pepper, cilantro, olive oil, and hot sauce to cooled mixture. Add chilled shrimp and scallops stirring well to coat. Let flavors marry in the refrigerator for up to two hours.
  • When ready to serve, dip serving glasses into lime juice and then into kosher salt. Spoon diced avocado into the bottom of each glass and spoon shrimp-scallop mixture with plenty of juice in each glass.

Notes

You can also use sea scallops for this recipe. Just cut them into chunks the same size you you chop the shrimp.
