Ceviche

Anyone have any good recipes? If at all possible I'd like one that doesn't involve a flaky white fish since I'm allergic to most of them.

Thanks

is it too difficult to go to foodnetwork.com and find recipes?

I assume you already enjoy eating ceviche and have a general idea of what it is supposed to taste like. I think scallops would be a great substitute for fish in this case. Play around with it, Lemon/Lime/Orange juices, salt, pepper, fresh hot peppers, red onion, garlic, cilantro or parsley, cooked shrimp, crab meat, octopus, squid...

We also eat something called campechana, which is more Mexican than ceviche is. It's a tomato based, seafood cocktail. All the seafood is cooked before hand, usually shrimp and lump crab meat. Chopped, seeded tomatoes, diced onion, tomato juice(V8 or Clamato), lime, salt, pepper, cilantro, diced jalapenos, and diced avocado. Usually want the mixture about the consistency of ceviche.
