SHRIMP AND SCALLOP SALAD WITH ORANGE SECTIONS

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.

Steps:
- Whisk 1 tablespoon oil, vinegar and both mustards in medium bowl to blend. Whisk in mayonnaise, then cream. Mix in 2 tablespoons chives. Season vinaigrette to taste with salt and pepper.
- Cook potatoes in large saucepan of boiling salted water until just tender, about 12 minutes. Drain potatoes; pat dry with paper towels. Cool completely. Cut each potato crosswise into 4 slices.
- Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in heavy large skillet over high heat. Add potatoes and sauté until golden, about 2 minutes per side. Using slotted spoon, transfer potatoes to plate. Add scallops to same skillet and sauté until just cooked through, about 1 minute per side.
- Toss mixed greens in large bowl with enough vinaigrette to coat. Season salad to taste with salt and pepper. Spoon salad onto center of plates. Arrange scallops and potatoes atop salad. Drizzle remaining vinaigrette around scallops and potatoes. Sprinkle with additional chopped chives and serve.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, high-quality seafood. The fresher the seafood, the better your salad will taste. Look for seafood that is firm to the touch and has a mild, briny smell.
- Cook the seafood properly. Overcooked seafood is tough and chewy. Cook the seafood until it is just cooked through, then remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly.
- Use a variety of vegetables. This will add color, texture, and flavor to your salad. Some good options include cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and avocado.
- Make a flavorful vinaigrette. The vinaigrette is what ties all the ingredients together. Use a good quality olive oil and vinegar, and add some herbs and spices to taste.
- Serve the salad immediately. Vinaigrette salads are best enjoyed fresh. If you need to make the salad ahead of time, store the vinaigrette and the salad separately and assemble them just before serving.
Conclusion:
Vinaigrette scallops and shrimp salad is a light, refreshing, and flavorful dish that is perfect for a summer meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal taste. Whether you are serving it as a main course or a side dish, this salad is sure to be a hit.
