Blood Orange-Scallop Seviche

Chef E. Michael Reidt garnishes this citrusy, summery seviche with popcorn, a nod to Peruvian and Ecuadorian cuisine. "When you go to a bar in Peru, you're given a big bowl of seviche and a bowl of popcorn with your beer," he says. "This puts them both together on one plate."

Our Pairing Suggestion

Seviche is almost as popular in Chile as it is in Peru—maybe because citrusy Chilean Sauvignon Blancs, particularly from the cool Casablanca region, pair so well with it.

  • HEALTHY

Ingredients

  1. 1 1/4 pounds sea scallops, quartered
  2. 1/2 cup fresh lime juice
  3. 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
  4. 1/4 cup pineapple juice
  5. 1/4 cup fresh orange juice
  6. 2 tablespoons unsweetened coconut milk
  7. 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  8. 1 teaspoon Sriracha hot sauce
  9. Salt and freshly ground pepper
  10. 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  11. 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  12. 1 teaspoon sugar
  13. 1 red bell pepper, julienned
  14. 1 medium cucumber—peeled, seeded and julienned
  15. 1 medium carrot, julienned
  16. One 1 1/2-inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled and julienned
  17. 1 blood orange
  18. 1 cup lightly salted popcorn
  1. Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the scallops and cook for 1 minute. Drain the scallops and spread them out on a large plate. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate.
  2. In a large nonreactive bowl, whisk together the lime, lemon, pineapple and orange juices. Whisk in the coconut milk, soy sauce and Sriracha and season with salt and pepper. Stir in the scallops, cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk the olive oil with the vinegar and sugar and season with salt and pepper. Add the bell pepper, cucumber, carrot and ginger and toss well.
  4. Using a very sharp knife, peel the orange, carefully removing all of the bitter white pith. Cut in between the membranes, releasing the orange sections into a small bowl.
  5. Divide the julienned vegetable mixture among 8 bowls. Using a slotted spoon, top the vegetables with the scallops; pour a little of the marinade over each portion. Garnish the seviches with the orange sections and sprinkle with popcorn. Serve right away.
