Who doesn’t like eating outside on a patio… certainly not me! That’s one thing about summer that I really adore; the fresh air with a warm, calm breeze, watching the sunset go down ⛅ and just enjoying the weather while eating… priceless! To me, having a meal outside is a form of relaxation that I truly appreciate.
When it’s nice outside and people are eating on a patio, grilling foods on the barbecue is quite obvious. There’s no need to start the oven inside and heat up the house 🏡. Burgers, Hot Dogs, Steaks, Grilled Fish, Chicken, Kebabs, and so on are the popular ones we’ll all be enjoying this season. Sometimes though, it’s nice to have a change. Something light, fresh, and very tasty… something like a ceviche!
In the past, I’ve shared my delicious Ceviche de Pescado (Fish Ceviche 🐟) with you, and this time, here’s another one of my creations… Scallop Pineapple Ceviche! Oh my! This dish is so flavorful!
When I made 👩🍳 this recipe the first time, I wanted to achieve the perfect harmony of heat and slight sweetness with a little tang in the background without taking away from the delicate flavor of the scallops. It was bang on!
Another reason why I love serving this Scallop Pineapple Ceviche to friends and family is that it doesn’t require any cooking. Are the scallops raw? NO, absolutely not! When submerging the seafood in citrus juice 🍋, the acidity will actually cook the scallops and turn the flesh opaque and firm. This method has been used since colonial times. Here’s a great link to Extract the Most Juice from Citrus Fruits
Heat kills bacteria, whereas citric acid won’t, so it’s very, and I mean very important to use fresh scallops. If you’re not sure about how fresh they are, quickly “blanch” the seafood for 90 seconds ⏳.
I love scallops, and I have a few recipes with them. Check them out: Bay Scallop Chowder, Coquilles St Jacques, Scallops with Smoky Cream Corn Sauce 🌽, Sautéed Scallops with Beurre Blanc, Maple Ginger Scallops, Blood Orange Miso Scallops, Scallops and Roasted Chestnut Soup, and more to come…
This Scallop Pineapple Ceviche is the perfect dish to make for your guests during the hot summer months 🌴😎. It’s a great appetizer to serve along with tortilla chips. It can also be a main course if you want to enjoy a light meal out on the patio with a glass of white wine – definitely Zen!
Bon Appétit!🍽
