1 1/2 cups water |
6 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (about 2 lemons), divided |
1 1/2 pounds mussels, scrubbed and debearded |
1/2 pound peeled and deveined sustainable shrimp, such as pink |
1/2 pound cleaned skinless squid |
1 (1 1/4-pound) wild american lobster |
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt |
1/4 teaspoon black pepper |
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil |
2 cups fresh cilantro leaves |
1 cup thinly sliced radicchio |
1 1/2 cups thinly sliced celery |
1 cup thinly sliced red onion |
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper |
1 head frisée, torn |

1. Bring 1 1/2 cups water and 3 tablespoons juice to a boil in a Dutch oven. Add mussels; cover and cook for 2 minutes or until shells open. Remove mussels from pan with a slotted spoon; discard any unopened shells. Cool. Remove meat from the mussels; discard shells. Place mussels in a large bowl.
2. Add shrimp to boiling liquid in pan; cook 2 minutes or until done. Remove shrimp from pan with a slotted spoon, and add to mussels. Cut squid crosswise into 1/4-inch rings, and leave tentacles whole. Add squid to boiling liquid in pan; cook for 1 minute. Remove the squid from pan with a slotted spoon. Cool; add squid to mussels mixture. Add lobster to pan, and cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 8 minutes. Remove lobster from pan, reserving 1 tablespoon cooking liquid; cool lobster. Remove meat from lobster tail and claws; coarsely chop. Add lobster, salt, and black pepper to mussels mixture.
3. Combine the remaining 3 tablespoons juice, reserved cooking liquid, and olive oil in a bowl, stirring with a whisk. Drizzle lemon mixture over seafood mixture; toss gently to coat. Cover and marinate in refrigerator for 1 1/2 hours. Add cilantro and remaining ingredients to seafood mixture, and toss gently.
