How to Make Bay Scallops Ceviche

  1. In a large glass bowl, gently toss the bay scallops with the lime juice. Ensure all scallops are fully submerged.
  2. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight. The lime juice will 'cook' the scallops.
  3. After marinating, drain off excess lime juice.
  4. Add the red onion, red bell pepper, cilantro, jalapeño (if using), avocado, and olive oil to the bowl.
  5. Gently stir to combine all ingredients.
  6. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  7. Refrigerate for an additional 2 1/2 hours to allow flavors to meld.
  8. Serve chilled with crackers or tostadas. Enjoy!
