Inspired by the antipasto tables of Italian coastal towns, insalata di mare combines boiled shrimp, squid, and mussels with a lemon and olive oil dressing. It is served cold, so it can be prepared ahead for a gathering.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Boil the seafood

15 min

Bring salted water to a boil. Boil the shrimp, squid, and mussel meat separately for 2 minutes each, then drain.

2

Cool the seafood

5 min

Transfer the boiled seafood to ice water to cool it quickly, then drain and pat dry.

3

Toss with the dressing

10 min

Combine the lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Pour over the cooled seafood and toss well.

4

Chill before serving

60 min

Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to let the flavors meld.

Reminder

Do not overboil the seafood; squid and shrimp become tough and rubbery if boiled for too long. Allergens: contains crustacean shellfish (shrimp) and mollusks (mussels and squid).

Kalamarı 2 dakikada haşlayınca gerçekten lastik gibi olmadı, misafirlerim tabağı silip süpürdü.
