Ceviche is a popular dish in Latin American cuisine, particularly in coastal regions where fresh seafood is abundant. The dish typically consists of raw fish and shellfish, which are marinated in citrus juices and spices to 'cook' the meat without heat. In this recipe, we're using a combination of lobster and scallops to create a ceviche that's bursting with fresh and flavorful ingredients. The addition of orange, lemon, and lime juices gives the dish a tangy and zesty flavor that perfectly complements the sweetness of the seafood. This ceviche is perfect for a summer party or as a light and healthy meal on a hot day.

Instructions

1.Preheat a pot of water to boiling. Boil the lobster for 4-5 minutes, or until the shell turns red and the meat is cooked through.
2.Remove the lobster meat from the shell and cut it into small bite-sized pieces.
3.In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped lobster meat and scallops.
4.Add the orange juice, lemon juice, lime juice, onion, tomatoes, cilantro, habanero, olive oil, and ketchup to the bowl.
5.Season with salt and pepper to taste, and mix the ingredients until well combined.
6.Chill the ceviche in the refrigerator for at least an hour, then serve with avocado and plantain chips.
