This could very well be the ultimate seafood cocktail, served with a light-bodied sauce instead of the typical red glop. With lots of vegetables to balance the chunks of shrimp and crab, it can be served as a salad as well as a palate- and eye-pleasing appetizer.

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the trimmed green beans and sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
