Time 40m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb calamari, cleaned and cut into tubes
1 lb shrimp, shelled, deveined
1/2 small onion, sliced thin
1/2 cup celery, cut on the diagonal
2 lemons
olive oil
salt

Steps:

  • Boil the Calamari for no more than 30 seconds. Remove from water and place in a bath of cold water to stop the cooking. Do the same for the shrimp. (Or purchase frozen cooked shrimp -defrost in the refrigerator).
  • Place the seafood into a colandar in a bowl to drain, cover with wrap and place in the refrigerator until chilled and well drained.
  • Pat dry the seafood to make sure all excess water is removed. In a serving bowl, add the seafood, sliced onions, and celery. Squeeze the juice of the lemons over the salad. Add olive oil to coat along with some salt. Mix well.
  • Refrigerate, covered, for a few hours to marinate. (I actually make this the night before, which helps to marinate the seafood).
