How to Make Scungilli Salad

  1. Drain one 15-ounce can of scungilli and rinse thoroughly under cold water.
  2. Slice the scungilli into bite-sized pieces.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the sliced scungilli, 1 cup chopped celery, ½ cup sliced Kalamata olives, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon black pepper.
  4. In a separate small bowl, whisk together ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil, 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, 1 tablespoon lemon zest, ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon black pepper, 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro, and 2 tablespoons chopped parsley.
  5. Pour the dressing over the scungilli mixture and toss gently to combine.
  6. Add ½ cup cooked shrimp (optional), and gently toss again.
  7. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. (Even better if you marinate for 2-4 hours!)
  8. Serve chilled on a bed of crisp lettuce leaves. Garnish with extra cilantro or parsley, if desired.
