Juicy and Spicy Ceviche

  4.8 – 11 reviews  

This was the elaborate New Year’s Eve supper that my fiancée and I prepared. When using sea scallops rather than bay scallops, chop each one in half before incorporating it into the spaghetti.

Prep Time: 20 mins
Additional Time: 1 hr 40 mins
Total Time: 2 hrs
Servings: 6

Ingredients

  1. 1 ½ pounds cooked seafood mix (such as octopus, squid, shrimp, and surimi)
  2. 1 cup lime juice
  3. 2 roma (plum) tomatoes, diced
  4. 1 small red onion, diced
  5. 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  6. 1 tablespoon hot pepper sauce (such as Frank’s RedHot®)
  7. 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  8. 1 ½ teaspoons cayenne pepper
  9. ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  10. ½ teaspoon chili powder
  11. 1 teaspoon salt
  12. 1 bunch cilantro, chopped
  13. 1 avocado – peeled, pitted and diced

Instructions

  1. Stir seafood mix and lime juice together in a large, non-metallic bowl; let stand 10 minutes. Fold in diced tomatoes and onion; cover, and refrigerate 30 minutes. Whisk together Worcestershire sauce, hot pepper sauce, tomato paste, cayenne pepper, cumin, chili powder, and salt in a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  2. After 30 minutes, gently stir 1/2 of the tomato paste mixture into seafood mixture. Cover remaining tomato paste mixture and seafood mixture. Return both to the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  3. After another 30 minutes, gently stir the remaining tomato paste mixture into ceviche, cover, and refrigerate another 30 minutes.
  4. Gently stir cilantro and diced avocado into ceviche before serving.

It came out superb! It was on a total whim as I picked up squid at the grocery store. I did find the ordering within the directions a little unclear in places. It tasted awesome so all was well!!!!

Very easy to make. Cut the cayenne to just a couple of pinches because 1 1/2 teaspoons is a lot of spice. This is our “go to” ceviche recipe.
Johnny Russell
Best ceviche ever! I only use shrimp but its great, the whole family loves it!
Patrick Reese
I also bake it for about 15 minutes on 375 that works the best and then put it under the broiler with the sauce on it for couple minutes and it’s perfect my family loves this recipe
Sandra Reyes
Simple and delicious! I did a rush job and used cooked shrimp and put everything together at one time. When I have time, I will follow the directions as posted… but for now, this quick version is the bomb!

I’ve made it several times for family and friends. Always a huge hit. I love it.

Big hit at the party! Just enough spice to it. I used all shrimp and cut them up so they fit nice on the chips.
Joseph Murphy
This dish was amazing!! The flavor is simply delicious!! I used all shrimp and added a half of diced cucumber. I’m making more tonight 🙂

I added a bit of Clamato to it. Amazing!

This has an excellent amount of spice– not too strong, but there is a slight kick to it.
