Instructions

  1. Combine all the poaching ingredients in a large pot set over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil.
  2. Add the calamari and squid heads and allow to poach for a minute or two until just cooked. Drain with a slotted spoon and add to a large bowl.
  3. Add the shrimp and mussels then turn off the heat and allow to poach for 4-5 minutes until just cooked.
  4. Drain with a slotted spoon and add to the bowl with the calamari. 
  5. In a separate bowl, mix together all the dressing ingredients.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. I like to make the dressing a little too acidic and too salty to make sure the seafood is well-seasoned.
  7. Pour the dressing over the seafood then add the finely chopped celery and red onion.
  8. Stir to combine then allow to marinate for 30 minutes then serve.
