Steps

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

  5. In a skillet over medium heat, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
  6. Add the seafood mix to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes until the seafood is cooked through, stirring occasionally.
  7. Once the seafood is ready, remove it from heat and let it cool slightly.
  8. To serve, place a generous portion of the salad on each plate, top with the cooked seafood, and add the crispy pita chips on the side.
