Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
  2. Add the mussels and shrimp to the marinade, coating them well. Let them marinate for 20 minutes.
  3. While the shellfish marinates, place the new potatoes in a pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook for 15-20 minutes until tender.
  4. Drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly. Once cool, mix them with mayonnaise, chopped dill, and red onion.
  5. Heat a pan over medium heat and add the marinated shellfish. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the mussels open and shrimp turn pink.
  6. To serve, place a generous scoop of the herbed potato salad on each plate and top with the cooked shellfish.
