Directions

Step 1

Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp and set aside to cool.

Step 2

In the same pot, add the scallops and simmer for 3-4 minutes, or until firm and opaque. Remove and allow to cool. Cut scallops into halves if large.

Step 3

In a small skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the minced garlic for 1 minute, making sure not to burn it. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the vodka, lime juice, orange juice, minced habanero, honey, salt, black pepper, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and the sautéed garlic to create the dressing. Mix well and set aside.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the salad greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, crab meat, cooked shrimp, and scallops.

Step 6

Drizzle the vodka habanero dressing over the seafood salad. Toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly.

Step 7

Divide the salad mixture evenly among four martini glasses or presentation bowls.

Step 8

Garnish each glass with a sprinkle of chopped fresh cilantro. Serve immediately for a visually stunning and refreshing appetizer or light meal.
