How to cook deliciously - Frutti di Mare Seafood Salad

1. Stage

Make the poaching broth: Put all the poaching broth ingredients together in a medium pot, cover and bring to a boil. Turn off the heat to let the flavors steep while you cut the veggies.

2. Stage

Prep the salad vegetables: While the poaching broth is steeping, prep the vegetables if you haven't done so already. Dice the yellow pepper, seed and dice the tomatoes and slice the celery ribs very thin. Chop the chives. Juice the lemons and remove any seeds. Put the diced peppers, tomatoes and celery into a very large bowl. Most cocktail shrimp are pre-cleaned and cooked, so you can put them in the bowl, too.

3. Stage

Poach the clams: Bring the poaching broth back to a boil and add all the clams. Boil 3 to 4 minutes, or until the clams all open up. As soon as you see each clam open, fish it out and set it aside. Remove the meat and put in the bowl with the veggies.

4. Stage

Poach the scallops: Turn off the heat and put the scallops in the poaching water. Cover the pot and let stand for 3 to 4 minutes. Fish out the scallops and put into the bowl.

5. Stage

Poach the calamari rings: Bring the broth to a boil once more. Add the calamari rings and boil 30 seconds to 1 minute, then pour the contents of the pot into a strainer set over a bowl. You can save the broth or discard it. Pick out all the calamari rings and add to the bowl.

6. Stage

Dress the salad: To finish, add the olive oil and a little salt and half the lemon juice. Mix well and taste. Add more olive oil, lemon and salt until you get the flavors you want: The salad should be glistening with oil, briny and tart with lemon. Finally, mix in the chives and chill. This salad is better a few hours after it's made. Did you love the recipe? Give us some stars and leave a comment below!
