City Ceviche
City Ceviche pairs tender poached scallops and shrimp with a lively mix of lime and a hint of sweet orange, bright bell peppers, red onion, and serrano heat. Fresh cilantro, cumin, and cayenne add lift, while avocado and a touch of olive oil round the acidity. Perfect for a summertime starter or a light dinner with crisp chips or tostadas.

Fill a large bowl with ice and cold water; set it aside. Remove and discard the tough side muscles from the scallops, if needed. Slice the scallops in half horizontally.

Fill a 1-quart saucepan three-quarters full with salted water; bring it to a boil. Add the scallops; lower the heat to a gentle simmer. Poach until just cooked through, about 1 minute. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the scallops to the bowl of ice water to halt the cooking.

Bring the water back to a boil. Add the shrimp; poach until opaque and pink, 2 to 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the shrimp to the same bowl of ice water to stop the cooking.

Drain the scallops and shrimp; pat them dry with paper towels. Move them to a glass, ceramic, or other non-reactive bowl. Stir in the lime juice and orange juice. Cover the bowl; refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Drain and discard the juice from the seafood, leaving it just moist. Add the bell peppers, tomato, red onion, cilantro, serano, orange zest, cumin, cayenne pepper, and salt; refrigerate for 30 minutes more.

Gently fold in the avocado and drizzle with the oil just before serving. Serve in martini glasses or stemmed margarita glasses.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe
easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.
The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.
Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.
Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
