    This seafood salad recipe is from Hyatt Ziva Rose Hall in Puerto Vallarta and is one of the best things I've ever eaten.

    Shrimp is my favorite food. I've shared before this lemon and herb shrimp is one of my all time favorite recipes, along with these bacon wrapped scallops and this Maryland Crab Dip.

    This seafood salad recipe from the Hyatt Ziva Rose Hall in Puerto Vallarta was one of the best things I've ever eaten. It's so easy to make at home!

    I asked the chef if he would share the recipe and was thrilled when he said yes.

    Though this dish was introduced as ceviche, the shrimp and scallops were poached just enough to cook them which left them perfectly tender.

    Overcooking fresh seafood can ruin it in a heartbeat, which is why I loved this method of preparation.

    Don't be intimidated by preparing seafood. Try these easy baked tilapia recipes and see how easy it can be.

    I always buy my seafood at a high-end grocery store or at a seafood market, and you should, too. If you're going to make anything with seafood, make sure it's as fresh as you can buy or just don't buy it. I made this seafood salad recipe a few hours after I bought the seafood.

    This is another reason I loved the Hyatt Ziva Rose Hall. If you're thinking about a Puerto Vallarta all-inclusive vacation, this is the place. The seafood there is as fresh as you can get!

    What to Pair with this Seafood Salad Recipe

    We love to eat appetizers for dinner, especially on busy weekends. I'd pair this with either Peach Salsa or this easy salsa recipe with watermelon from Carnival Cruise Lines. This Apple Margarita would be an amazing cocktail to serve alongside the food!

    Scallop and Shrimp Seafood Salad Recipe

    I brought this seafood salad recipe back from Puerto Vallarta last year because it was one of the best I've ever eaten. It was introduced at ceviche, but the shrimp and scallops were poached just enough to cook them which left them so tender.
