Seafood Salad with Shrimp and Squid

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.
