Ingredients

1 pound tiny scallops (bay or calico)
5 cups cooked rice
1 pound shrimp, cooked, peeled and sliced in half lengthwise
2 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 cups finely diced green pepper
3/4 cup finely chopped red onion
1 to 1 1/2 cups cooked quartered artichoke hearts
1/4 cup capers
1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/3 cup chopped fresh dill
10 tablespoons olive oil
6 or 7 tablespoons red wine vinegar
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 large cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
2 tablespoons minced parsley

Steps:

Saute scallops in hot butter for about 3 minutes, just enough to cook them lightly.
Combine scallops with remaining salad ingredients in serving bowl.
Whisk oil with vinegar and beat in remaining dressing ingredients. Pour over salad and toss gently.
Chill or serve at room temperature. It is better if salad is not too cool, for this detracts from the flavors.
