MOCK CEVICHE

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil, and salt it. Add shrimp, reduce heat to medium, and cook about 4 minutes, until pink and firm. Remove and run under cold water. Peel and set aside. Cook scallops and squid together in same water for 2 minutes, or until scallops are firm and not quite cooked through and squid is fairly tender. Remove and run under cold water, then combine with shrimp.
• Toss seafood with olive oil and, if you like, cover and refrigerate until ready to serve (up to 24 hours). Toss with remaining ingredients except cilantro, then taste, and adjust seasoning. Stir in most of cilantro, then garnish with remainder.
