Shellfish Salad Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shellfish

    In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes until pink and opaque. Remove and cool. In the same water, blanch the squid for about 30 seconds and remove. The octopus should be pre-cooked and chopped, and the crab meat should be ready to use.

  2. 2

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked shrimp, octopus, squid, and crab meat. Add the lime juice, olive oil, and chopped fresh herbs. Toss gently to combine.

  3. 3

    Serve with Sauce

    Serve the shellfish salad on a platter or individual plates, drizzling the green goddess sauce generously over the top. Optionally, garnish with additional herbs or lime wedges.
