Rob Carson: So once again, my name is Carson. I am a radio personality and a gourmet cook. Today we have made shrimp and scallop ceviche, a nontraditional approach to it, but something you are really going to love. Now I am going to show you real quick how I would serve this if I was going to be serving my guests in my house. I have done this a lot. A lot of the times I like to use glassware instead of the traditional bowls when you are eating. I just think it looks better. It's kind of cool to bring a martini glass with food in it to the table. So what I am going to do is I am going to use a nice martini glass with a lot of color. I am going to take some of my ceviche which has being chilling in the refrigerator for couple of hours. Look at all that color, isn't that great? This is a big serving I have added. Then I am going to take a couple of these blue corn chips and I am going to put it right there because you are going to eat the blue corn chip. But it also kind of looks cool. There you go. Isn't that pretty? Bring that to the table. Your guests are going to be impressed and they are going to love the flavor. 1
