1 red onion, shaved
2 avocados, cubed
1 seedless cucumber, sliced
2 celery stalks
4 radishes, thinly sliced
1/4 bunch cilantro, chopped
1/4 bunch basil
Directions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Add the scallops and shrimp to the boiling water; cook for 45 seconds.
Remove the scallops and shrimp and refrigerate.
In the same pot of boiling water, add the lobster and cook (about 7-10 minutes for a 1-pound lobster)
Cool and clean lobster; cut into large chunks
Combine scallops, shrimp, lobster and crabmeat in a bowl with the mango, red onion, avocados, cucumber, celery, radishes, cilantro and basil.
Mix in with the coconut lime dressing. Serve with yuca chips.
Coconut Lime Dressing ingredients
2 tablespoons toasted cumin seeds (if you do not have toasted seeds, you can do this in a skillet -- lightly toast until seeds become fragrant)
Large piece of peeled ginger
4 chopped shallots
2 pieces of chopped chipotle pepper
Two 8-ounce cans coconut milk
1/2 cup lime juice
1/2 cup Dijon mustard
1/4 cup champagne vinegar
Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
Combine all the ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.
Add salt and pepper to taste.
Hot Honey Plantains ingredients
2 overripe plantains
Canola oil
Salt
Hot honey
Directions
Slice the plantains about 1/2 inch thick.
Heat canola oil in a Dutch oven to 350 F; There should be enough oil to cover the plantain pieces fully.
Add the plantain slices into the Dutch oven; swirl once.
Fry until golden brown, about 10 minutes.
Remove plantains from the pot, salt to taste.
Drizzle with your favorite hot honey.
