Method
- In a glass bowl, combine the oysters, lime juice, onions, tomatoes and chile.
- Toss to combine.
- Cover and refrigerate until oysters have slightly "cooked," 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
- (Note: If oysters are allowed to marinate too long, they will become tough and rubbery.)

- Season, to taste, with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Arrange 1 lettuce leaf on each of 4 plates.
- Arrange the ceviche inside the leaves and serve.
