Instructions
 

For the Cranberry Mignonette:

  • Whisk together the white wine vinegar, sparkling wine, shallot, cranberries, sugar and black pepper. Pour into a small serving bowl.

For the Cranberry Cocktail Sauce:

  • Add cocktail sauce, cranberries, lime juice, salt and black pepper to a food processor. Pulse a few times until combined but still a bit chunky. Pour into a small serving bowl.

For the Seared Scallops:

  • Make sure scallops are patted dry. Season them with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat a non-stick pan over medium high heat. Add the olive oil and butter. Once hot, add the scallops. Sear for 1-2 minutes on each side until desired doneness.

  • Place Himalayan salt (or crushed ice) on a large serving platter. Add the seared scallops, oysters and shrimp onto the platter in 3 separate sections.
  • Place the cranberry chutney in a small serving bowl and nestle next to the scallops. Place the mignonette next to the oysters and nestle the cranberry cocktail sauce next to the shrimp. Place the olives and capers into small bowls and nestle onto the platter in an open spot. Place the cheese spread into a small bowl and nestle in any free space. Add crackers where room allows. Add lime wedges around the platter. Fill any openings with rosemary sprigs. Add small spoons and knives as needed for serving.
