This vibrant scallop, prawn, and squid ceviche is a refreshing seafood dish that makes a sophisticated starter or light lunch. Inspired by coastal Latin American flavours, the seafood is gently poached before being steeped in a zesty marinade of Seville orange, lime, and spicy aji amarillo chilli. The acidity of the citrus creates a bright, clean profile that perfectly complements the natural sweetness of the shellfish.
As a diabetes-friendly option, this recipe is naturally low in carbohydrates and high in lean protein. It is an excellent choice for those seeking a heart-healthy meal that does not compromise on taste. Serve these chilled seafood bowls on their own or with a crisp green salad for a nutritious and colourful dinner party appetiser that is surprisingly simple to prepare.

Ingredients for Scallop, Prawns, and Squid "Ceviche"
240ml fresh Seville orange juice (or 120ml regular fresh orange juice plus 120ml fresh lime juice)
1 tablespoon bottled ají amarillo chilli purée (often labeled "crema")
40g finely chopped red onion
230g cleaned squid
230g sea scallops, tough ligament removed and scallops halved horizontally
230g large prawns in shell (21 to 25 per pound), peeled and deveined
1/4 cup chopped coriander
How to make Scallop, Prawns, and Squid "Ceviche"
Whisk together juice, chilli purée, onion, and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt in a large bowl for marinade.
Halve squid tentacles lengthwise and cut bodies (including flaps, if attached) crosswise into 1/4-inch rings.
Poach scallops and prawns in a medium pot of barely simmering water, stirring occasionally, until barely cooked through, about 1 minute. Stir in squid and cook, stirring occasionally, until just tender, about 40 seconds.
Drain seafood well in a colander and add to marinade. Marinate, uncovered and chilled, at least 3 hours (for flavours to develop).
Just before serving, stir in coriander. Spoon seafood into shallow bowls with a slotted spoon, then spoon marinade over it.
