It looks to me like the ingredient list is wrong for the shrimp and scallops. The recipe specifies 8 servings, and calls for 2 scallops per plate, for a total of 16, but the ingredients list only calls for 12. On the shrimp it calls for 3 shrimps per plate, requiring a total of 24, but the ingredient list calls for 12.

I have tried many versions of this recipe but this is my favorite. The dressing is great. As usual, Bobby comes through with a great recipe. Lots of great flavor.

I prepared everything but the seafood ahead of time and did the seafood on my cast iron grill pan in the kitchen at a dinner with friends. It was awesome…like a starred Michelin restaurant. I didn’t change a thing. It was easy to do and I think even the seafood could be done in advance. I did use the highest quality seafood but it was worth it. Served with Sauvignon Blanc.

This salad is truely awesome! I have been wanting to try a Bobby Flay recipe for some time as they sound fantastic. This one is really a winner and I will definitely be making it for family and friends. I usually do not try anything with anchovies, but the anchovy paste really is great in the dressing. All the flavors blend together nicely. I used roasted garlic and served it on baby spinach. Yum!
