Scallop Aguachile

Ingredients

• 1 pound large fresh scallops
• 1/4 cup lime juice (freshly squeezed)
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1/4 cup red onion (slivered)
• 1 serrano or jalapeño chile (thinly sliced)
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher or sea salt (or more to taste)

Instructions

1. 1

   In a bowl, combine the lime juice, olive oil, onion, serrano and salt. Whisk and let sit for at least 15 minutes, or cover and refrigerate up to 12 hours.

2. 2

   When ready to serve, remove lime juice mix from the refrigerator. Slice the fresh scallops thinly and horizontally, up to 1/8” width. Spread on a platter. Whisk the lime juice sauce and pour in its entirety over the scallops, arranging so that the onion and chile are spread evenly throughout. Serve immediately.
