Yield 20 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 1/2 pounds mussels (about 6 dozen), scrubbed and beards removed
3 1/4 pounds medium shrimp (20-24 to the pound), shelled
1 teaspoon kosher salt
4 9-ounce boxes frozen artichoke hearts
8 stalks (about 1 1/2 pounds) celery, peeled and cut diagonally into 1/4-inch slices
3/4 pound white onion, quartered and thinly sliced (2 cups)
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup good quality olive oil
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 tablespoons drained and rinsed capers
3/4 cup of liquid from cooked mussels

Steps:

  • Put the mussels with a quarter-cup of water in a large pot with a tightly fitting lid. Cook for 10 minutes, shaking the pot - holding the cover on - once during cooking. Remove from heat. Allow to cool until the mussels can be handled. Shell the mussels, using one shell as tweezers. Place the meat in a very large bowl. Discard the shells. Strain the mussel liquid through a sieve lined with a damp cloth. Reserve.
  • Bring three quarts of water with the salt to a boil in a large pot. Drop in the shrimp. Stir. Cover the pot and turn off the heat. Let the shrimp steep for five minutes. Drain in a large colander. Add to the mussels.
  • Open the boxes of artichoke hearts. Place the artichokes in a sieve under hot running water until they can be separated. Place in bowl of hot water until thoroughly defrosted. Drain and add them to the shrimp and mussels.
  • Add the celery and onions and stir.
  • Whisk together the marinade ingredients. Pour over the salad. With hands or large spoons, mix thoroughly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate. Stir once or twice before dinner.
