Servings: persons

1/2 lb shrimp, peeled, deveined, and chopped into bite-sized pieces (salad shrimp work great for this)
1/2 lb bay scallops or 1/2 lb sea scallops, chopped into bite-sized pieces
2 stalks celery, chopped
1/2 red onion, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1/2 cup lime juice (fresh is best!)
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 -2 garlic clove, chopped
fresh ground pepper
1 tablespoon seasoning salt (I like Morton's Nature's Seasoning)

1
Chop all fresh ingredients and place in a large bowl.
2
Add the chopped seafood.
3
Slowly add lime juice until everything is just covered. You may need more than is recommended in the ingredients list.
4
Add seasoning salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
5
Feel free to add tomatoes, corn, or anything else you might like. It is also okay to use all shrimp or all scallops or to substitute in just about any other shellfish or white fish that you like.
6
Refrigerate at least 3 hours.
7
You can drain off a little of the lime juice if you like, but I don't find this necessary.
8
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
9
Serve with tortilla chips or as a garnish to a fish dish. I'm sure you can find many uses for this delicious salsa!
