Spanish Seafood Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Fill a large pot with 3 quarts of water and add the Old Bay seasoning and 1 tablespoon of salt. Bring to a boil, add the shrimp, lower the heat, and simmer for 3 minutes, until just firm. With a skimmer or slotted spoon, transfer the shrimp to a large bowl. Leave 2 cups of the poaching liquid in the pot and discard the rest.
• Add the wine to the poaching liquid and bring to a boil. Add the scallops, lower the heat, and simmer for 2 minutes, until just cooked. With the skimmer, transfer the scallops to the bowl with the shrimp. Bring the poaching liquid back to a boil, add the calamari, and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, until just cooked. Be careful not to overcook any of the seafood or it will be tough! With the skimmer, transfer the calamari to the bowl.
• Bring the poaching liquid to a boil again, add the mussels, cover, and simmer for 4 to 5 minutes, until all the shells have opened, discarding any that don't open. Turn off the heat and set aside until the mussels in the broth are cool enough to handle. Remove the mussels from the shells and add to the bowl. Add 12 of the shells to the seafood and discard the rest. Set aside 1/2 cup of the poaching liquid, discarding the rest. Drain the seafood in a colander and put it all back into the bowl.
• For the dressing, heat the olive oil in a medium (10-inch) saute pan over medium heat. Add the garlic, oregano, and red pepper flakes and cook for 1 minute. (Be careful: Overcooked garlic will be bitter.) Add the tomatoes and cook over medium heat for 2 more minutes. Add the reserved poaching liquid, the limoncello, lemon zest, lemon juice, 1 tablespoon salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper and cook for 1 more minute. Pour the sauce over the seafood and toss gently. Add the fennel and parsley. Cut a lemon in half lengthwise, cut it thinly crosswise, and add it to the salad. Toss gently to combine and cover with plastic wrap. Chill for at least 3 hours or overnight.
• To serve, sprinkle with 2 teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon pepper, and the juice of the remaining lemon. Taste for seasonings and serve cold or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add shrimp and 2 tablespoons lemon juice; cook until shrimp are bright pink on the outside and the meat is opaque, about 2 minutes.
• Transfer shrimp to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain and pat dry with paper towels.
• Combine celery, mayonnaise, 1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon red onion, dill, remaining 4 teaspoons lemon juice, seafood seasoning, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
• Dice shrimp and crab. Add to the mayonnaise mixture and gently stir to coat. Refrigerate for 2 hours before serving.

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in large saute pan or paella pan. Chop onion and garlic and add to the pan. Saute until the onion is translucent. Slice chorizo and add to pan. Fry until golden.
• If you have 11 ounces of small squid, add them whole; otherwise, cut the larger squid into rings and chop tentacles. Add squid to pan and saute for 2 minutes on high heat.
• Seed and slice the bell pepper. Seed and dice the tomatoes. Add both to the dish and simmer gently for 5 minutes. Add broth and wine. Stir well and bring to a boil.
• Add rice and saffron. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Spread the rice and other ingredients in an even layer across the pan. Bring liquid back to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
• Add peas, prawns, mussels and clams, stirring gently to incorporate. Cook for another 20 minutes until rice is tender and the shellfish has opened. Discard unopened shells and add more broth if the dish seems dry.
