CRUNCHY ASIAN SALAD WITH SHRIMP AND SCALLOPS



Crunchy Asian Salad With Shrimp and Scallops image

A local restaurant serves a salad similar to this and after a lot of experimenting I came up with a pretty good imitation. I stop on the way home from work at the local Chinese restaurant to pick up the fried wonton strips. Don't let the number of ingredients scare you off as it assembles quickly and easily. You can make the dressing ahead of time and store in the refrigerator.

SPANISH-STYLE SHRIMP AND SCALLOP SALAD



Spanish-Style Shrimp and Scallop Salad image

Categories     Salad     Leafy Green     Olive     Onion     Tomato     Sauté     Low Fat     Lunch     Scallop     Shrimp     Gourmet

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/4 pound shrimp, shelled, and deveined if desired
1/4 pound sea scallops, halved crosswise
1/4 cup minced seeded tomato
8 pimiento-stuffed green olives, sliced thin
1/2 small red onion, sliced thin
1 tablespoon Sherry vinegar
a pinch of paprika
1/8 teaspoon sugar
1 small head of Bibb lettuce, rinsed, spun dry, and cut into julienne strips
8 romaine leaves, cut into julienne strips

Steps:

  • In a skillet heat 1 tablespoon of oil with the garlic over moderately high heat until it is hot but not smoking and in it sauté the shrimp and the scallops, stirring, for 2 minutes. Stir the tomato, the olives, and the onion and transfer the mixture to a large bowl. In a bowl whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, 1 tablespoon water, the vinegar, the paprika, the sugar, and salt and pepper to taste. Add the lettuces and the dressing to the shrimp mixture and toss the salad to coat it well with the dressing.

Tips:

  • Use fresh and high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the overall flavor of your salad. Look for plump, juicy shrimp and scallops, and fresh, crisp vegetables.
  • Don't overcook the seafood: Shrimp and scallops should be cooked quickly over high heat until they are just opaque. Overcooking will make them tough and chewy.
  • Use a variety of textures and flavors: This will make your salad more interesting and enjoyable to eat. Include a mix of crunchy vegetables, such as bell peppers, celery, and carrots, and soft, juicy fruits, such as mango, pineapple, and papaya.
  • Use a light and flavorful dressing: A simple vinaigrette or citrus dressing will help to enhance the flavors of the seafood and vegetables without overpowering them.
  • Garnish your salad with fresh herbs: This will add a pop of color and flavor. Cilantro, basil, and mint are all good choices.

Conclusion:

Shrimp and scallop tropical salad is a delicious and refreshing dish that is perfect for a summer lunch or dinner. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can create a salad that is both flavorful and healthy.
