Instructions
Prepare Shrimp and Scallops:
- In a skillet over medium heat, melt the artisanal butter. Sprinkle unrefined sugar over the shrimp and scallops. Sauté until the seafood is cooked through and slightly caramelized. Set aside to cool.

Prepare the Seafood:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled shrimp and scallops with luxurious crab meat.
Add Crunchy Vegetables:
- Gently fold in the finely diced yellow onion, meticulously diced celery, diced red bell pepper, and diced green onion for a burst of freshness.
Create the Dressing:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together creamy mayo, juice and zest of 1 lemon, zesty hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce (if using), and sweet relish. Adjust the spice level and sweetness according to your taste.
Season the Seafood Mixture:
- Sprinkle a dash of salt, pepper, garlic, onion powder, and Old Bay seasoning over the seafood mixture.
Combine and Chill:
- Pour the dressing over the seafood and gently toss until everything is well coated. Refrigerate the seafood salad for at least 1-2 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve and Enjoy:
