Marinated Seafood Salad with Orange and Olive

I generally shy away from recipes that use copious amounts of olive oil, but seafood salad is an exception because it just tastes so good and olive oil-y. I like to serve each portion mounded a on leaf of radicchio.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 pound small squid, bodies sliced into 1/4 inch rings
  • 18 medium shrimp
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 2 garlic cloves, very thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 pinch freshly ground pepper
  • 1/2 small fennel bulb
  • 2 tablespoons parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon small capers
  • 3 oranges, supremed
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion (cut from a quarter of a whole red onion)
  • 20 manzanilla olives, halved

Directions

  • Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a medium saute pan over medium-high heat. Add garlic and pepper flakes and cook, stirring, until garlic begins to brown around the edges. Add the squid and cook until opaque, about 1 minute. Remove squid to a shallow bowl.
  • Heat another tablespoon of olive oil in the saute pan. Add the shrimp and saute until just cooked through, about 3 minutes. Add to the bowl with the squid, along with 1/4 cup of olive oil, sherry vinegar, salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for two hours.
  • Cut the fennel into 1/4 inch by 1 inch batons. Add fennel and remaining ingredients to shrimp and squid mixture and gently toss.
