For the best flavor and texture, use the freshest seafood available. If using frozen shrimp or scallops, ensure they are fully thawed and patted dry before marinating. Adjust the amount of jalapeño and serrano peppers to your preferred level of spice. Remove the seeds and membranes for a milder flavor. The citrus juice 'cooks' the seafood, so ensure the shrimp and scallops are fully opaque before serving. If the seafood is still translucent, marinate for a longer period of time. This ceviche is best enjoyed within 24 hours of preparation.
