Step 1
First, let's boil the shrimp. Put them into a pot of salted water and cook for 3–5 minutes, then let them cool. If you bought uncooked shrimp, which are usually gray-colored king shrimp, these seafood need to be boiled for about 10 minutes.

Step 2
Similarly, boil the chicken breast as well, only increase the time slightly to 30 minutes, and then let it cool down as before.

Step 3
Turn on another burner and place a pot with salted water for rice on it. Cook the rice briefly and do not stir it, so it doesn't become mushy. It's better to add a bit of oil to the water to prevent the rice from sticking together.

Step 4
While everything is boiling, the shrimp have already cooled down, so we need to clean them—remove the shell and head.

Step 5
Now peel the shallot, which we need to chop—finely or into half-rings, if you don't want to spend too much time on it, as I usually do.

Step 6
Well, the chicken has already been boiled and even cooled down. Now it needs to be cut into medium-sized pieces.

Step 7
Now take a green bell pepper and cut it into strips as well. If the pepper is large, you can cut the strips in half crosswise.

Step 8
Next is the tomato, which we also need to slice into wedges. If the tomato is small, use 2 of them.

Step 9
The next ingredient is olives and black olives, slice them into rings.

Step 10
We take just a little bit of parsley, so it doesn't overpower the main flavor, and chop it very, very finely.

Step 11
Finely chop the anchovies and capers; we'll use them to make the salad dressing. Mix the anchovies and capers in a glass or mortar—whichever is more convenient—for the sauce, adding salt, red and black pepper. Pour in some wine vinegar and olive oil, then whisk thoroughly.

Step 12
And only now should we place the tomatoes, chicken, shrimp, and "all that goes with them" into a deep, attractive salad bowl, add our sauce, and mix everything again.
