Shrimp and Scallop Salad with Orange Sections image

Provided by Food Network

Time 45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Salt
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
1 pound raw medium shrimp in their shells
1 pound bay scallops or sea scallops cut in half
5 medium oranges
1 head of romaine lettuce
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
Fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In two separate saucepans bring water to a boil with 1 tablespoon salt and 2 tablespoons vinegar in each pan. (If you don't have two saucepans, you can execute this step in two stages using the same saucepan twice.) When the water comes to a boil, drop the shrimp into one pan and the scallops into the other. Cook the shrimp for 1 to 2 minutes, depending on their size, and the scallops for about 1 minute, until their color turns a flat white. Drain immediately.
  • Shell the shrimp leaving the tails on, remove the vein that runs down the center of the back, and put them in a bowl with the drained scallops.
  • Peel 4 oranges with a sharp paring knife, removing the peel and the pith. Slip the blade in between the sections to detach the pulp from the thin membrane that encloses each section. Lift out the membrane-less sections and remove any seeds. Set aside.
  • Detach the lettuce leaves from the head, discarding any bruised or wilted leaves. Wash the leaves in several changes of cold water and shake dry in a towel or in a salad spinner. Cut the leaves into strips about 1/2-inch wide. Cut the remaining orange in half and squeeze out the juice.
  • Combine the shrimp, scallops, and orange sections in a bowl. Add the orange juice, salt, olive oil, and liberal grindings of pepper and toss thoroughly.
  • Choose a shallow-- neither too deep nor too flat-- serving platter. Line it with strips of lettuce and top them with the shrimp, scallops, and orange sections, distributing evenly over them all the seasonings in the bowl. Serve at once.

I tried making this salad, but it didn't turn out well. I think I followed the recipe wrong.

The shrimp and scallops were overcooked and the orange sections were too sour.

This salad was a little too tangy for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with a sweeter dressing.

I've never been a huge fan of seafood salads, but this one changed my mind. The combination of shrimp, scallops, oranges, and avocado was simply divine. I could eat this every day!
