Ingredients

  1. 3/4 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
  2. 3/4 pound baby squid, plus tentacles, cleaned
  3. 12 scallops
  4. 1/3 cup olive oil
  5. Salt
  6. Freshly ground black pepper
  7. 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
  8. 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  9. 1 teaspoon honey
  10. 1 red jalapeno, minced
  11. 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  12. 1/2 teaspoon red chili flakes
  13. 1/2 medium red onion, minced
  14. 2 stalks celery, minced

Instructions

  1. Heat the grill to high.
  2. Combine the seafood in a large bowl, toss with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  3. Grill the shrimp for approximately 1 minute per side, remove and place on a platter. Grill the squid bodies and tentacles for 2 to 3 minutes per side, remove from the grill and slice crosswise into 1/2-inch thick rings and place on the platter with the shrimp. Grill the scallops until golden brown on both sides and just cooked through, about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes per side, place on the platter.
  4. Whisk together the lemon juice, garlic, honey, jalapeno and extra-virgin olive oil in a large bowl. Add the seafood, chili flakes, onion, celery, olives, oregano, and 1 tablespoon of the parsley and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Stir in the remaining parsley just before serving. Place the mesclun greens on a large platter and top with the seafood salad.

Love it

I really enjoyed this recipe, and it was quick to throw together for a weeknight meal. My only critique is: although I very much enjoy the squid tentacles when fried, they were a bit too tough/chewy in this recipe; next time I will only use the bodies. Overall, an excellent summer dish.

Very good – made a hit with our guests. I grilled the seafood in the house on the stove in a grill pan. It did the trick.
