Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 200 grams Scallops
- 200 grams Calamari (sliced into rings)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 250 grams Cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 1 medium Cucumber (diced)
- 1 small Red onion (thinly sliced)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 4 cups Lettuce (mixed greens)
- 2 teaspoons Capers (optional)
Instructions
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and prepare an ice bath in a large bowl.
Add the shrimp, scallops, and calamari to the boiling water and cook for 2-3 minutes until just cooked through. Be careful not to overcook the seafood.
Drain the seafood and immediately transfer it to the ice bath to stop the cooking process. Let it cool completely, then drain and pat dry with a paper towel.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled seafood, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, fresh parsley, and capers (if using). Pour the dressing over the mixture and toss gently to coat.
On a large serving platter or individual plates, arrange the mixed greens as a base.
Spoon the seafood mixture over the greens, spreading it evenly.
Serve the salad immediately, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours to let the flavors meld. Enjoy!
