Olive oil, as needed
2 garlic cloves, minced
12 large shrimp, peeled, deveined and diced
6 bay scallops, rinsed and quartered
2 calamari, cleaned and cut into rings

Steps:

Preheat broiler or outdoor grill. In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil, garlic and seafood. Cook, stirring occasionally, until shrimp are completely pink and the calamari and scallops are opaque, about 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat, and let cool to room temperature. In a medium bowl combine diced tomatoes, onion, avocado, and basil. Season with salt and pepper, and stir with a wooden spoon to combine all the ingredients. Add cooled seafood and a splash of olive oil, stirring to incorporate. Toast the bread under the broiler or on the grill. Top each piece with a large mound of the seafood and tomato salad
