02Steps
- Bring a pot of water to a boil. First, blanch the shrimp until pink and cooked through, about 1-2 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
- Next, blanch the squid rings in the same boiling water for about 1 minute until opaque and slightly curled. Remove and set aside with the shrimp.
- Finally, blanch the mussels in the boiling water until they open, typically 3-4 minutes. Discard any unopened mussels. Remove the opened mussels and add to the seafood mix.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the blanched shrimp, squid, and mussels.
- Add the julienned cucumber, carrot, thinly sliced red onion, and chopped fresh cilantro to the bowl with the seafood.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, minced red chilies, fresh lime juice, fish sauce, granulated sugar, light soy sauce, and sesame oil to create the dressing.
- Pour the dressing over the seafood and vegetables in the large mixing bowl. Toss thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well coated.
- For best flavor, refrigerate the spicy mixed seafood salad for at least 15-30 minutes before serving, allowing the flavors to meld. Garnish with extra cilantro if desired.
