Cooking on the Beach

Always asking questions, always learning, always inviting myself into the kitchen. Learning from the best this week!

What family trips (not vacation), is all about! Travel tip- I wait until I get to the location I’m traveling to to buy cute “local” dresses or things for the girls. Walmart, Kmart, and such have great local clothing and items for kids. Don’t try touristy shops but shop where the locals go. These dresses were from Walmart and less then $10. You know with four kids you’ll end up at Walmart so save some dough and wait until you get there!

Citrus Ceviche

Last night’s ceviche was perfection. Here is my ceviche recipe with an added idea from last night, grapefruit and orange segments! My ceviche is cooked so you don’t have to worry about raw shrimp and scallops. 1 lb. Sea Scallops 1 lb. Shrimp Juice from: 1 lime, 1 lemon, and 1 orange Zest from 1 lime 1 tsp. Garlic Powder 1 tsp. Onion Powder 2 tsp. Salt ½ tsp Pepper 1 Avocado, diced ½ Red Onion, minced 1 Tbsp. Cilantro, chopped Pinch of Crushed Red Pepper 1 Tbsp. Canola Oil Grapefruit segments Orange segments In a bowl combine the shrimp, scallops and canola oil. When ready to cook, arrange the shrimp and scallops on the grill, Traeger, or broiler for just a few minutes. (Under cook, don’t over cook) Prepare all the other ingredients, and place in a large mixing bowl. Let scallops and shrimp cool, then cut in half width-wise, and combine them with the ingredients in the bowl. Refrigerate Ceviche for at least 2-3 hours to let the flavors combine. Serve with sweet potato chips or corn chips….
