Drawing from Brooklyn's diverse culinary scene, this dish marries New York's love for fresh seafood with California's herbaceous freshness. The marinated shellfish brings a taste of the sea, while the flatbread serves as a hearty base, perfect for sharing. The herb salsa adds a fresh burst of flavor, making it a delightful weeknight treat. Inspired by 2 Girls Found Dead Atop a J Train in Suspected Subway Surfing Accident and When A.I. Came for Hollywood.

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine shrimp, mussels, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Marinate for 20 minutes in the refrigerator.
  2. While the seafood marinates, prepare the herb salsa by mixing chopped parsley, cilantro, red onion, cherry tomatoes, and lime juice in a separate bowl. Set aside.
  3. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Cook the marinated shrimp and mussels for about 5-7 minutes until shrimp are pink and mussels open. Discard any unopened mussels.
  4. Warm the flatbreads in a dry skillet or oven until pliable.
  5. To serve, place warm flatbreads on plates, top with the cooked shellfish, and spoon on the herb salsa.
