Conch Ceviche Scallop Crudo Hybrid

  • Level: Easy
  • Yield: 4 servings
  • Total: 40 min
  • Active: 40 min
This recipe is neither a crudo nor a ceviche; it is an interpretation and hybrid of the two. This is one of those recipes that came together after the proper peppers never came for a classic ceviche. I took the base knowledge of how to make a proper leche de tigre and interpreted that in this dish.

Ingredients

2 cups ice water

4 cloves garlic      

3 shallots  

3 limes, juiced  

1 lemon, juiced 

1 orange, juiced  

1 habanero, seeded 

1/2 papaya, juiced  

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper  

1/2 pound scallops 

1 pound conch, cleaned and sliced thinly  

2 pimento peppers, thinly sliced  

Olive oil, for drizzling

Directions

  1. Combine the ice water, garlic, shallots, lemon, lime and orange juices, habanero and papaya juice in a blender and puree until smooth. The consistency should be thin and loose. Season with salt and pepper.
  2. Wash and pat dry the scallops. Thinly slice and reserve in the fridge. 
  3. Add the conch to half of the marinade; the remaining marinade can be reserved in the fridge for up to a week to utilize for grilled summer seafood or another batch of ceviche. 
  4. Divide the sliced scallops between low bowls and serve the marinated conch on top. Top with the sliced pimentos and a drizzle of olive oil. 

Cook’s Note

The conch should smell fresh and clean when purchased.
