Was thinking ceviche for the langostinos and grapefruit/achiote marinated scallops on skewers.
The langostinos are raw. I already have the seafood. etouffee is a good idea. Was also thinking about making a mous out of the scallops and using that for savory scallop pancakes.

Aren't the langostinos cooked? The raw scallops might be better for ceviche .....Your scallop recipe sounds really good, but might be very similar to a ceviche flavor. How about substituting langostinos for crawfish and making an etouffee?

Ingredients 8 ounces bay scallops 2 tablespoons unsalted butter 1 tablespoon minced garlic 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, plus a pinch 1 cup fresh bread crumbs or crushed crackers 2 medium size very ripe tomatoes, finely chopped 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves Directions Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Remove the side muscles from the scallops and rinse with cold water and thoroughly pat dry. Melt the butter in a medium saute pan over medium heat. Once the butter is melted add the garlic and a pinch of salt and cook for 30 seconds. Remove the pan from the heat and toss in the bread crumbs until well combined. Set aside. In a small bowl, toss together the tomato, parsley and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Evenly divide the tomato mixture between 4 oven proof ramekins or scallop shells. Place the scallops over the tomato mixture and top with the cracker or bread crumbs. Bake in the oven for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown on top. Serve immediately. Ingredients 1 to 1 1/4 pounds dry sea scallops, approximately 16 2 teaspoons unsalted butter 2 teaspoons olive oil Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper Directions Remove the small side muscle from the scallops, rinse with cold water and thoroughly pat dry. Add the butter and oil to a 12 to 14-inch saute pan on high heat. Salt and pepper the scallops. Once the fat begins to smoke, gently add the scallops, making sure they are not touching each other. Sear the scallops for 1 1/2 minutes on each side. The scallops should have a 1/4-inch golden crust on each side while still being translucent in the center.
