Lobster, Scallops, and Mussels with Tomato Garlic Vinaigrette

This elegant lobster, scallop, and mussel salad is a celebration of fresh, high-quality seafood. By gently poaching the shellfish and pairing them with a vibrant tomato and garlic vinaigrette, you create a dish that is light yet deeply satisfying. The sweetness of the lobster and scallops is perfectly balanced by the acidity of the white-wine vinegar and the savoury depth of the reduced poaching liquor, making it a beautiful centrepiece for a summer lunch or a refined starter.

As a diabetes-friendly option, this recipe focuses on lean proteins and heart-healthy olive oil, avoiding heavy sauces or refined carbohydrates. It is a brilliant choice for those looking for a sophisticated, nutritious meal that doesn't compromise on flavour. Prepare the seafood in advance to allow the vinaigrette to marinate, then serve at room temperature to ensure the delicate textures of the Mediterranean-style dressing are enjoyed at their very best.

Ingredients for Lobster, Scallops, and Mussels with Tomato Garlic Vinaigrette

  • 4 (675g) live lobsters

  • 120ml de vino blanco seco

  • 600ml water

  • 675g sea scallops, tough ligament removed from side of each if attached and scallops halved horizontally if large

  • 900g cultivated mussels, scrubbed well and beards removed

  • 160ml extra-virgin olive oil

  • 3 dientes de ajo, finamente picados

  • 5 tablespoons white-wine vinegar

  • 450g de tomates uva, partidos por la mitad

Bring an 8- to 10-quart pot of water to a boil, then plunge 2 lobsters headfirst into water and boil, covered, 6 minutes from time they enter water. Transfer with tongs to a shallow baking pan to cool, then boil remaining 2 lobsters.

When lobsters are cool enough to handle, twist off tails, claws, and knuckles and remove meat, discarding bodies and shells. Cut tail meat crosswise into 1-inch-thick slices. Put lobster meat in a large bowl.

Bring wine, water, and 1/2 teaspoons salt to a simmer in a wide heavy medium pot. Add scallops and poach at a bare simmer, uncovered, until scallops are just cooked through (opaque), 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to bowl with lobster.

Return liquid to a simmer over medium-high heat. Add mussels and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until mussels just open wide, checking frequently after 4 minutes and transferring to bowl with seafood. (Discard any mussels that remain unopened after 6 minutes.)

Strain cooking liquid through a sieve lined with a dampened paper towel. Rinse pot, then return liquid to pot and boil until reduced to 240ml , about 8 minutes.

Heat oil, garlic, vinegar, 120ml reduced seafood liquid, and 1/2 teaspoons salt in a 1 1/2- to 2-quart nonreactive saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until warm, about 2 minutes. Add tomatoes and cook until they just begin to wilt but still hold their shape, 3 to 5 minutes.

Pour hot vinaigrette over seafood and stir gently to coat. Marinate, covered and chilled, at least 2 hours. Bring to room temperature, about 30 minutes, before serving.
