Steps:
- Cook the shrimp& scallops in boiling water for about 3 minutes (do not over cook or they will become tough, you should only cook them until the shrimp turn pink and the scallops are opaque. Drain& chill under cold water. Cube the scallops (Leave bay scallops whole). You may now, if you wish, cover the sea).
- Cut Avocados in half and remove the pit.
- Scoop out the flesh, leaving a thin shell, chop the flesh and place in a large bowl.
- Add shrimp, scallops and remaining ingredients, toss lightly.
- Divide among the 8 avocado shells, mound attractively.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, high-quality seafood. Look for scallops and shrimp that are firm and have a briny smell. Avoid any seafood that looks slimy or has an off odor.
- Don't overcook the seafood. Scallops and shrimp cook quickly, so be careful not to overcook them. Overcooked seafood will be tough and chewy.
- Use a good quality olive oil. The olive oil you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the salad. Choose a flavorful, extra-virgin olive oil.
- Add some acid to the vinaigrette. Acid helps to balance out the richness of the seafood and olive oil. You can use lemon juice, lime juice, or white wine vinegar.
- Season the salad to taste. Add salt and pepper to taste, and adjust the other seasonings as desired.
