Grilled Mixed Seafood Salad Recipes

Steps:

• In small bowl, mix all vinaigrette ingredients until well blended.
• In shallow glass or plastic bowl, place fish steaks, shrimp and 1/4 cup of the vinaigrette; turn fish and shrimp to coat with marinade. Cover and refrigerate 1 hour. Reserve remaining vinaigrette.
• Heat coals or gas grill for direct heat. Remove fish and shrimp from marinade; reserve marinade. Cover and grill fish and fennel over medium heat 5 minutes; brush with marinade. Add shrimp.
• Cover and grill 5 to 15 minutes, turning and brushing fish, fennel and shrimp with marinade 2 or 3 times, until shrimp are pink and firm, fish flakes easily with fork and fennel is tender. Discard any remaining marinade.
• Arrange romaine and arugula on serving platter. Cut fish into bite-size pieces. Arrange fish, shrimp, fennel and remaining ingredients on romaine mixture. Serve with remaining vinaigrette.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together oil, lemon juice, and parsley until well combined; set vinaigrette aside.
• Heat a grill that has a fine-mesh grill basket, or a grill pan, over medium-high heat. Place calamari, shrimp, and scallops in a medium bowl. Add 2 tablespoons reserved vinaigrette, and toss to coat. Grill seafood in batches until browned and cooked through, about 2 minutes on each side for shrimp and calamari, and 1 minute for scallops. Slice grilled calamari bodies into rings, and place in a clean bowl with remaining grilled seafood. Add shredded radicchio and arugula, and toss with remaining vinaigrette. Season with salt and pepper, and serve at room temperature on small plates or scallop shells.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a heavy medium skillet over medium-low heat. Add the garlic, let it cook for 1 to 2 minutes and then add the herbs and saute until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Cool to room temperature. Whisk in the lemon juice. Season the dressing with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Prepare the barbecue (medium-high heat). Pat the scallops and squid dry with paper towels and thread them onto skewers. Brush them with 2 tablespoons of the dressing. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill the scallops and squid until just cooked through, turning once, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Cool completely. Cut the squid crosswise into 1/4-inch-wide rings.
• Combine the arugula, carrots, bell peppers, and cannellini beans in a large bowl. Toss with 1/2 cup of the dressing to coat.
• Place 1 large or 2 medium radicchio leaves on each of 4 plates. Spoon the bean salad into the radicchio cups. Top with the scallops and squid. Drizzle the remaining dressing over the seafood and serve.

Steps:

• For the court bouillon: Combine the white wine, peppercorns, thyme, bay leaves, dill, serranos, lemons and fennel in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then add 8 cups room temperature water and the shrimp. Put the squid and the scallops in a fine-mesh strainer and lower them directly into the court bouillon. Gently poach the seafood until cooked through and tender, about 15 minutes. Remove the seafood to a plate, strain the court bouillon into a bowl, and then add the seafood back to the court bouillon. Add a few ice cubes to cool the liquid down. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• For the seafood salad: In a large mixing bowl, combine the lemon zest and juice, olive oil, oregano and black pepper. Whisk well. With a slotted spoon, remove the chilled seafood from the court bouillon and add it to the bowl along with the cherry tomatoes, olives, pepperoncinis and bell peppers. Toss well.
• Arrange a bed of arugula on a large serving platter. Mound the seafood salad on top and garnish with the feta and capers. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Heat a grill until medium hot. Lightly oil the fillets; season with the salt and pepper.
• Place fish and clams on the grill. Cook until fillets start to turn opaque, 3 to 4 minutes. Brush fillets with shallot butter; turn fillets over. Grill until cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes more. Meanwhile, the clams should start to open after about 4 minutes; spoon a little shallot butter into each clam; leave on grill 1 to 2 minutes more. Remove seafood from grill, and serve. Discard any clams that have not opened.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sugar, salt, vinegar and milk. Add the crabmeat, celery and green pepper and stir until evenly combined. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Steps:

• In tightly covered container, shake vinaigrette ingredients.
• Place shrimp and fish in shallow glass or plastic dish or heavy-duty resealable plastic food-storage bag. Add 1/4 cup of the vinaigrette; turn shrimp and fish to coat. Cover dish or seal bag; refrigerate 30 minutes. Reserve remaining vinaigrette.
• Heat gas or charcoal grill. Remove shrimp and fish from marinade; reserve marinade and set shrimp aside. Place fish and fennel on grill over medium heat. Cover grill; cook 5 minutes. Brush fish and fennel with marinade; add shrimp. Cover grill; cook 5 minutes, turning and brushing fish, fennel and shrimp with marinade 2 or 3 times, until shrimp are pink, fish flakes easily with fork and fennel is tender. Discard any remaining marinade.
• Arrange salad greens on serving platter. Cut fish into bite-size pieces. Arrange fish, fennel, shrimp and remaining salad ingredients on greens. Serve with reserved vinaigrette.

Steps:

• Combine shrimp, scallops, swordfish and calamari in a bowl. Toss with 2 tablespoons oil and 1 tablespoon vinegar. Season with salt and pepper. Light the grill.
• When hot, use either a grill pan or eight or more thin bamboo skewers, soaked, to cook the seafood. If using a grill pan, heat the pan and brush it with a little oil before adding the shrimp, scallops, calamari and swordfish. Or thread everything but the calamari on the skewers, using 2 skewers at a time so the food will be secure. Sear the seafood, turning it to cook both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Remove to a large cutting board as it finishes cooking. Sear the calamari directly on the grill or in the grill pan, about 2 minutes per side. Add to cutting board. Sear the radicchio quarters briefly, turning once, and toast the bread on the grill. Add to the cutting board.
• Cut the shrimp in thirds, the scallops and swordfish in half, and slice the calamari thin. Pile in a bowl with the remaining olive oil, vinegar, the scallions and capers. Coarsely chop the grilled radicchio. Add to the bowl. Rub the toasted bread with the garlic, dice it and add it to the bowl. Toss, season with salt and pepper, fold in the parsley and serve warm.

Steps:

• Gently mix the shrimp, imitation crabmeat, cabbage, celery, and green onions together in a large bowl. Stir the mayonnaise and sugar together in a separate bowl until the sugar is dissolved into the mayonnaise; add to the shrimp mixture and gently stir until all ingredients are evenly coated.
• Refrigerate for 3 hours to allow the cabbage to soften and the flavors to blend.
