Seafood salad with shrimp
Description
A simple dish to prepare. Scallops are a very delicate ingredient. This time I decided to soak them in lemon juice (about 10 minutes is enough). Alternatively, you can sauté them in a buttered pan, then slice and add to the salad without marinating in juice. Instead of fresh cilantro, you can use parsley, and also add coriander seeds. The cucumber adds freshness to the salad, complementing the flavor of the seafood. Serve chilled.

Cut the squid into rings and chop the octopus. Remove the mussels and place the octopus, shrimp, and squid into the same water. Boil in boiling water for about 3 minutes. Optionally, you can add bay leaf and peppercorns.
