Mike Monahan’s Nantucket Bay Scallop Ceviche
The sweet, super freshness of the Bay scallops is essential for this dish. Bay scallops are in season roughly between mid-November and early March.
1 lb. fresh bay scallops
1- 1 1/2 C fresh lime juice
1 medium jalapeño seeded and sliced super thinly or finely chopped
2 t olive oil
salt to taste
Optional: red pepper flakes
