Sicilian Seafood Salad
This seafood salad is a classic dish in Sicily, where Hallmark Channel movie “Missing The Boat” takes place! It’s fresh and bright, perfect for a sail around the coast of Sicily!
I loved everything about this movie! From the scenery, to the storyline, and of course the two main characters played by Emilie Ullerup and Kristoffer Polaha! The pair I never knew I needed! Well, a cruise and a trip to Sicily isn’t complete without some calamari and octopus, so let’s get cooking!
Ingrdients:
-1 pound squid
-1 pound octopus
-1 pound shrimp
-Juice of 2 lemons
-Parsley
-Cherry tomatoes
-4 celery stalks
-Garlic infused olive oil
-Chicken stock
-2 cloves garlic
Directions:
In a large pot, pour chicken stock, and add water if it is not enough to cover the squid and octopus completely. Add two whole cloves of garlic, to season the water.
Add squid and octopus into the pot and cover while heat is on simmer. The squid will take 3 to 4 minutes to cook, and the octopus will take closer to 20 minutes. Once you have removed them both from the water, let them cool a bit.
In the meantime, you can prep your tomatoes, celery, and parley. Rinse and chop those up, throw them in a bowl and set aside.
Then you will cut your cooled calamari into rings, and your octopus tentacles. Add those into the bowl with your vegetables, and add some pre-cooked cocktail shrimp as well.
Squeeze the juice of two lemons and pour that all over. Next, pour a generous amount of garlic infused olive oil on top, followed by salt and pepper. Mix until it is all well combined.
Transfer to a serving bowl or platter with lettuce and lemon wedges, adding a little more parsley on top for garnish. Best if served chilled. Enjoy!
