Irresistible Italian Marinated Seafood Salad Recipe

Ingredients

• 0.5 pound sea scallops
• 0.25 pound medium shrimp
• 0.5 pound fresh mussels
• 0.25 pound calamari rings
• 0.5 cup pitted kalamata olives
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 0.33 cup olive oil
• 1 large clove garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon minced fresh chives
• 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1 lemon, sliced
• 1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
• 6 cups mixed salad greens
• freshly ground pepper to taste
• salt

Instructions

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Gently cook the scallops, shrimp, mussels, and calamari in the boiling water for just 2 minutes to ensure they remain tender. Drain the seafood immediately. Once cooled slightly, peel the shrimp and remove the scallops and mussels from their shells.
2. In a large bowl, combine the cooked seafood and olives. Drizzle generously with lemon juice and olive oil. Add minced garlic, freshly chopped parsley, chives, and a pinch of red pepper flakes for a hint of spice. Gently toss all ingredients together to ensure the seafood is well coated. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
3. Arrange a generous portion of salad greens onto each of the 6 plates or salad bowls. Spoon the marinated seafood mixture evenly over the greens. Garnish each serving with slices of fresh lemon and rings of red onion for added visual appeal and flavor. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper before serving.
