- 1 pound shrimp peeled and deveined
- 12 ounces bay scallops cleaned
- 12 ounces calamari rings
- 2 ruby grapefruits
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 red onion sliced and chopped
- 1 jalapeño stemmed and thinly sliced crosswise

Peel the grapefruits, and, using a sharp knife, cut into the membrane to release the sections of fruit over a bowl to catch any juice that escapes.
Reserve half of the fruit in a bowl and set aside.
Take the other half of the grapefruit and dice it on a cutting board. Add the fruit and juice to a large bowl.
Add the onion, honey, jalapeño, garlic, ginger, mint, and olive oil to the bowl with the fruit and juice. Stir gently.
Add the seafood to the bowl. Cover and refrigerate until the seafood is solid in color, about 1 to 2 hours. Do not leave for more than 2 hours or the shrimp can become tough.
Serve with the reserved grapefruit slices, and garnish with cilantro.
