This zesty scallop ceviche is a bright and sophisticated starter that relies on the natural acidity of citrus fruits to delicately cure the seafood. Combining the sweetness of orange juice with the sharp tang of lemon and lime, this recipe creates a beautifully balanced dressing that complements the tender bay scallops. The addition of fresh serrano chillies and red onion provides a crisp, savoury edge, while the coriander adds a classic herbaceous finish.

As a diabetes-friendly option, this dish is naturally low in carbohydrates and high in lean protein, making it an excellent choice for a light lunch or an elegant dinner party appetiser. The unsweetened coconut flakes offer a subtle tropical crunch without any added sugars. Serve it chilled in individual glasses for a refreshing, nutrient-dense meal that is as visually stunning as it is delicious.
