    • 1 tablespoon of finely chopped chives
    • 1 tablespoon of finely diced cucumber
    • 1 teaspoon of sea salt
    • 1/2 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper

    • 1 cup of green bell pepper, diced
    • 1 cup of ripe tomatoes, chopped
    • 1/2 cup of fresh cilantro leaves
    • 1/4 cup of red onion, chopped
    • 2 cups of vegetable broth
    • 3 tablespoons of olive oil
    • 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar
    • 1 teaspoon of sea salt
    • 1/2 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Scampi Tartare: In a medium bowl, combine 1 pound of finely diced fresh scampi with 1 tablespoon of fresh lime juice and 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil. Mix well to coat.
  2. Add flavor to the tartare by incorporating 1 tablespoon of finely chopped chives, 1 tablespoon of finely diced cucumber, and season with 1 teaspoon of sea salt and 1/2 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper. For a kick, add 1/2 teaspoon of diced jalapeño if desired. Stir gently until combined. Cover and refrigerate.
  3. Make the Green Gazpacho: In a blender, combine 2 cups of diced cucumbers, 1 cup of green bell pepper, 1 cup of ripe tomatoes, 1/4 cup of red onion, and 1/2 cup of fresh cilantro leaves.
  4. Add 2 cups of vegetable broth, 3 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar, 1 teaspoon of sea salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper to the blender. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning if necessary, then chill the gazpacho in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to enhance the flavors.
  5. Serve the Dish: To plate, spoon a generous amount of the chilled green gazpacho into a shallow bowl. Using a ring mold, layer the chilled scampi tartare atop the gazpacho. Carefully remove the mold to reveal a beautifully shaped tartare.
  6. Garnish with additional chives, a drizzle of olive oil, or a sprinkle of microgreens for added freshness. Enjoy immediately!
