Instructions

2-serving instructions (4-serving modifications in red)

Wash produce before use

Prep and cook the shellfish

Zest the lemon and juice half, keeping the zest and juice separate; set aside the juice for the salad. Cut half into wedges for garnish. [Zest both lemons. Juice 1 lemon; cut 1 lemon into wedges.]

For the shrimp or jumbo shrimp:

Rinse the shrimp, then drain on a paper-towel-lined plate and pat dry. Thread the shrimp onto the skewers and season lightly with salt and pepper.

In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 tablespoon oil until hot but not smoking. Working in batches if needed, add the shrimp and cook, turning once, until firm and cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes per side for regular shrimp, 2 to 3 minutes per side for jumbo shrimp. Transfer to a plate and sprinkle with the lemon zest. Add more oil between batches if needed.
While the shrimp cook, start preparing the salad.

For the scallops:

Pat the scallops dry with a paper towel. Thread the scallops onto the skewers and season lightly with salt.

In a large frying pan over high heat, warm 2 to 3 teaspoons oil until hot but not smoking. Working in batches if needed, add the scallops and cook without turning until golden brown on one side and starting to turn opaque, 2 to 4 minutes. Turn and continue cooking for about 30 seconds for translucent or 1 to 2 minutes for opaque. Transfer to a plate and sprinkle with the lemon zest. Add more oil between batches if needed.
While the scallops cook, start preparing the salad.

Prep the salad ingredients

Rinse the white beans.
Peel and finely chop enough onion to measure 1½ cups [2½ cups].
Finely chop the artichoke hearts.
Scrape off any seeds from the roasted red peppers; finely chop any large pieces.
Finely chop the olives.

Assemble the salad

In a large bowl, stir together the oregano, 1 tablespoon [2 TBL] lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon [2 tsp] oil; season to taste with salt and pepper. Add the beans, onion, artichoke hearts, roasted red peppers, and olives and toss to coat; season to taste with salt and pepper.

Serve

Transfer the white bean–artichoke salad to individual plates, top with the shellfish, and serve with the lemon wedges.
