Atkins Kitchen

Unlike traditional ceviches (Spanish seafood cocktails) in which the
seafood 'cooks' in the acidity of citrus juice, our version is made with
lightly poached scallops.

1. Bring water to a boil. Add scallops; immediately remove pot from heat.
After 8 minutes, remove scallops with a slotted spoon.

2. In a large bowl, mix lime juice, vinegar, pepper, and garlic. Add
scallops, mix well. Refrigerate 1 hour for flavors to blend.

3. Before serving, gently toss scallop mixture with avocado cubes, olive
oil, and cilantro.
