Seafood Summer Salad (on a snow day)

Woke up to 3 - 5 inches of snow today so I cranked up the heat, put on my bikini and made a summer salad with citrus and seafood. Take that! Now, it's your turn...

Ingredients
  • 3 fillets of white firm-fleshed fish, completely deboned
  • 1/2 pound cooked shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 3 limes
  • 1 lemon
  • 3 tsp of orange juice
  • 1/2 red onion, finely diced
  • 2 cups of finely chopped green cabbage
  • 2 tbsp Hot Chili Oil (found in the Asian food section of the grocery store)
  • 3 tbsp chopped cilantro
  • salt and pepper
  • dash of sugar
  • Tortillas or tortilla chips
Directions: Boil the fillets for 3 minutes under almost cooked through. Place fish in a casserole dish, either Pyrex or ceramic, and break apart into pieces with a fork. Cut shrimp into pieces and add to dish with onion, cabbage, cilantro, salt, pepper, and sugar. Cover with lime, lemon and orange juice. Let sit covered in the refrigerator for several hours (3 to 4), giving time for the flavors to blend. Stir occasionally. Serve with heated tortillas or with tortilla chips.
