This zesty starter is similar to ceviche, except the seafood is lightly cooked for safety. Feel free to vary the seafood with whatever looks best at your fish market. Try substituting—or adding in—calamari rings (not tentacles) or chunks of red snapper or sole. Ahi tuna is another solid option. If you prefer a milder dish, you can omit the red pepper flakes. Alternatively, you could turn up the heat by adding finely diced fresh jalapeños to the mix. For the wine, use a pinot grigio or sauvignon blanc, which are both dry white varieties that are great for culinary applications.
