City Ceviche

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2-pound sea scallops
  • 1/2-pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1/2 cup fresh lime juice
  • 2 tbsp. fresh orange juice
  • 1 tbsp. grated orange zest
  • 1/2 cup red onion, halved and thinly sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, finely chopped
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, finely chopped
  • 1 cup fresh tomato, seeded and diced
  • 1 small serrano Chile pepper, seeded and minced
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, coarsely chopped
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • 1/8 tsp. ground cumin
  • 1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper, optional
  • 1 avocado, diced
  • 1 tbsp. olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Remove the tough side muscles from scallops, if necessary; slice scallops in half horizontally.
  • Fill a 1-quart saucepan 3/4 full with salted water and bring to a boil.
  • Add scallops and reduce heat to a bare simmer.
  • Poach scallops until just cooked through, about 1 minute. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the scallops to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • Return the water to a boil and poach shrimp in the same manner, transferring them to a bowl of ice water after they become opaque inside and turn pink, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Drain the scallops and shrimp well and pat dry; place them in a glass or ceramic bowl and pour in lime juice and orange juice.
  • Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Pour off most of the juice from the seafood and mix in orange zest, red onion, red and yellow bell peppers, tomato, Chile pepper, cilantro, salt, cumin, and cayenne pepper.
  • Refrigerate an additional 30 minutes.
  • Just before serving, gently mix in avocado and drizzle the ceviche with olive oil.
  • Serve in martini glasses or stemmed margarita glasses.
