Step 1
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the 0.5 lb shrimp and 0.5 lb squid; cook until shrimp are pink and squid is opaque, about 2-3 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine the 4 cups chopped romaine, 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes, 0.5 medium sliced red onion, and 0.25 cup chopped cilantro.
Step 3
Add the cooked seafood to the bowl with the vegetables.
Step 4
In a small bowl, whisk together the 3 tbsp lime juice, 2 tbsp olive oil, and 1 sliced red chili. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 5
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine. Serve immediately.
Step 6
Optional: add a pinch of sugar to the dressing if you prefer a sweeter tang.
