SHRIMP & SCALLOP SALAD WITH TARRAGON ON RADICCHIO
Steps:
- Remove 6 large outer leaves from radicchio, rinse well, wrap in paper towels and refrigerate. Bring a large pan of salted water to a boil, add shelled shrimp and scallops and set on high heat until shrimp turn pink. Both the shrimp and scallops will be done at that point. Immediately empty the pan in a large colander in the sink and douse seafood with enough cold water to fully stop the cooking. Drain again and set aside. In a small skillet, warm prosciutto and olive oil, stirring over low heat for 5 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl, stirring until cool. Stir in shrimp, scallops, vinegar and tarragon. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground pepper, cover the bowl with plastic film and refrigerate until cold. To serve: Place a radicchio lettuce cup on 6 plates. Divide salad equally in the center of each leaf and garnish with taraagon sprigs.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality seafood. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish.
- Cook the seafood properly. Overcooked seafood is tough and chewy, so be careful not to overcook it. For the shrimp: Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are pink and opaque. For the scallops: Cook the scallops for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and opaque in the center.
- Use a light hand with the dressing. You don't want to overpower the delicate flavor of the seafood. A simple vinaigrette made with olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper is a good option.
- Serve the salad immediately. This is best when served fresh.

Shrimp and scallop salad with tarragon on radicchio is a light, refreshing, and flavorful dish that is perfect for a summer meal. The combination of shrimp, scallops, radicchio, and tarragon is delicious, and the dressing is light and flavorful. This salad is also very easy to make, so it is perfect for a weeknight meal.
