Best Seafood And Artichoke Heart Ecstasy Recipes

MARINATED SHRIMPS, MUSSELS AND ARTICHOKE HEARTS

Steps:

• Put the mussels with a quarter-cup of water in a large pot with a tightly fitting lid. Cook for 10 minutes, shaking the pot - holding the cover on - once during cooking. Remove from heat. Allow to cool until the mussels can be handled. Shell the mussels, using one shell as tweezers. Place the meat in a very large bowl. Discard the shells. Strain the mussel liquid through a sieve lined with a damp cloth. Reserve.
• Bring three quarts of water with the salt to a boil in a large pot. Drop in the shrimp. Stir. Cover the pot and turn off the heat. Let the shrimp steep for five minutes. Drain in a large colander. Add to the mussels.
• Open the boxes of artichoke hearts. Place the artichokes in a sieve under hot running water until they can be separated. Place in bowl of hot water until thoroughly defrosted. Drain and add them to the shrimp and mussels.
• Add the celery and onions and stir.
• Whisk together the marinade ingredients. Pour over the salad. With hands or large spoons, mix thoroughly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate. Stir once or twice before dinner.
