Ingredients
- 1 baguette, cut in 3/4-inch-thick slices
- 1 garlic clove, split in half
- Extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 head red oak lettuce
- 1 head frisee lettuce
- 3 egg yolks
- 1 pinch saffron threads
- 2 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup chopped garlic scapes (if in season)
- 1 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 pound fresh head-on large shrimp
- 1 cup cleaned squid
- 1 red bell pepper, stemmed, seeded and cut into medium dice
Instructions
- For the bread: Arrange baguette slices on a sheet tray and toast under the broiler until golden brown. Rub bread with cut-sides of raw garlic clove and drizzle with oil.
- For the salad: Rinse lettuces and spin dry. Tear into bite-sized pieces. Place in a large bowl.
- For the aioli: Add the yolks, saffron, garlic, lemon juice, a pinch each of salt and freshly ground black pepper, and garlic scapes to a large mixing bowl. With an immersion blender set to pulse, combine ingredients, then slowly drizzle in half of the oil. Switch to a whisk and whisk in the remaining oil in a slow, steady stream. Set aside.
- For the seafood and assembly: In a large saute pan over medium-high heat, add the oil; when smoking, add the shrimp and squid. Saute until shrimp is pink and squid opaque, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the aioli, stir quickly then quickly remove from heat. Pour seafood over greens and toss lightly. Serve warm, garnished with red bell pepper, with the toasted baguette slices.
