Ingredients
1 pound bay scallops
8 limes, juiced
2 stalks celery, sliced
2 tomatoes, diced
½ green bell pepper, minced
5 green onions, minced
½ cup chopped fresh parsley
⅛ cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 ½ tablespoons olive oil
freshly ground black pepper to taste
Directions
Rinse scallops and place in a medium bowl. Pour lime juice over scallops; scallops should be completely immersed in lime juice. Cover and chill in the refrigerator until scallops are opaque, 8 hours to overnight.
Discard 1/2 of the lime juice from the bowl. Add celery, tomatoes, bell pepper, green onions, parsley, cilantro, olive oil, and black pepper; stir gently until combined.
Recipe Tip
You can substitute many types of seafood for the scallops such as halibut, red snapper, flounder, or swordfish.
