Ingredients

  1. 150 g tasmanian scallops, thinly sliced
  2. 1/4 cup fresh lime juice (about 2 limes)
  3. 1 tablespoon good-quality tequila
  4. 1/4 small red onion, finely sliced
  5. 1/2 small red chilli, finely chopped (adjust to taste)
  6. 1 tablespoon fresh coriander, chopped
  7. Salt, to taste
  8. Tortilla chips or crispy tostadas, to serve

Method

  1. In a glass or ceramic bowl, combine the thinly sliced scallops with fresh lime juice and tequila. Stir gently to coat the scallops and allow them to marinate for 20-30 minutes, or until the scallops turn opaque and cook in the citrus juice.
  2. While the scallops are marinating, prepare the other ingredients. Finely chop the red onion, cucumber, chilies (if using), and cilantro. Dice the avocado (if desired) and set everything aside.
  3. Once the scallops are ready, add the chopped onion, cucumber, chilies, cilantro, and avocado (if using) to the marinated scallops. Stir gently to combine.
  4. Season the ceviche with salt and pepper to taste. Optionally, drizzle with olive oil for extra richness.
  5. Serve immediately in chilled bowls, garnished with extra cilantro or lime wedges. Enjoy with tortilla chips or as a light appetizer!

Chef's Tip

Tequila scallop ceviche is all about freshness, citrus, and delicate balance. Lime juice lightly cures the scallops while enhancing their natural sweetness and silky texture, and the tequila adds subtle warmth and depth without overpowering the seafood. Fresh chilli, onion, coriander, and crisp vegetables bring brightness and crunch, creating a vibrant ceviche that feels light, refreshing, and full of flavour.
