Ingredients:​

• 200g shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 200g squid, cleaned and sliced
• 200g mussels, cleaned
• 200g scallops, cleaned
• 1 small onion, thinly sliced
• 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1/2 cup cucumber, thinly sliced
• 1/4 cup celery, sliced
• 2-3 Thai bird's eye chilies, finely chopped (adjust to taste)
• 3-4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup lime juice (about 2-3 limes)
• 2 tablespoons fish sauce
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• Fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish
• Fresh mint leaves, for garnish
• Lettuce leaves, for serving (optional)

Instructions:​

1. Prepare the Seafood:
   • Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the shrimp, squid, mussels, and scallops. Cook each type of seafood until just done (shrimp turns pink, squid turns opaque, mussels open up, and scallops become opaque), then transfer to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Drain and set aside.
2. Prepare the Dressing:
   • In a small bowl, combine finely chopped Thai bird's eye chilies, minced garlic, lime juice, fish sauce, and sugar. Stir until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is well combined.
3. Mix the Salad:
   • In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked seafood, thinly sliced onion, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and celery.
   • Pour the dressing over the seafood and vegetables. Toss everything together gently to ensure the ingredients are well coated with the dressing.
4. Garnish and Serve:
   • Transfer the salad to a serving platter. Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves and mint leaves.
   • Optionally, serve on a bed of lettuce leaves for added crunch and presentation.

Serving Suggestion:​

• Enjoy Yum Talay as a refreshing appetizer or a light, healthy main course. The combination of fresh seafood, zesty lime, and spicy chilies creates a delightful balance of flavors that's perfect for any occasion!
