Time 1h25m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

2 cups dry white wine
1 tablespoon whole black peppercorns
8 sprigs fresh thyme
4 bay leaves
4 sprigs fresh dill
2 serrano chiles, halved, seeded and deveined
2 lemons, quartered
1 bulb fresh fennel, cut into 1/8-inch slices
1 pound medium-large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 pound cleaned squid tubes and tentacles, tubes cut into 1/4-inch circles (see Cook's Note)
1 pound large sea scallops, halved
2 Meyer lemons, juice and zest of
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup Kalamata olives, pitted, chopped
1/2 cup sliced pepperoncini peppers
2 orange bell peppers, cheeks only, cut into 1/4-inch dice
4 cups baby arugula
1 cup crumbled feta
2 tablespoons capers, drained

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.
