Yield Serves: 6

Number Of Ingredients 16

Main ingredients:
2 cups vegetable stock
1 cup white wine
1 lb Baby octopus, cleaned (beaks and inside organs removed)
½ lb Bay scallops
¾ lb Shrimp, medium sized (31-35 to the pound), peeled and deveined
For the marinade:
10 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
4 tbsp red wine vinegar
3 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp white wine
2 cloves of garlic, crushed
Salt to taste
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 tbsp cilantro leaves, chopped

Steps:

  • Preparation of the seafood: Bring vegetable stock and white wine to a boil. Add the baby octopus. Cover the pot and simmer for approximately 25 minutes. The baby octopus is ready once it is fork tender and the flesh has turned opaque. Drain the baby octopus in a colander and cut into bite size pieces. Bring 1 quart of water to a boil. Turn down the heat so the water is simmering. Add the scallops and then the shrimp. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes or until done, being careful not to overcook. Drain immediately. Marinade and final combination: In a large bowl prepare the marinade by whisking together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, the 1 tablespoon of white wine and crushed garlic. Add salt and pepper, adjusting amounts to personal taste. Mix in the red bell pepper and the cilantro. Add the baby octopus, bay scallops and shrimp to the marinade and mix well gently. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
