To make the dressing: in a bowl, whisk together all the dressing ingredients; set aside.
To make the salad: in a medium saucepan over med-high heat; bring just enough water to cover shrimp to a boil; add shrimp and cook until they turn pink, about 2 minutes.
Drain and transfer to a bowl.
Cook scallops in the same way; boiling until they turn opaque, about 2 minutes.
Drain and add to the bowl with the shrimp.
Pour half of the dressing over seafood and toss to coat; cover and refrigerate 1-2 hours to allow flavors to blend.
Place peas in a colander and pour boiling water over; drain and dry.
Place in another bowl; add in cucumber; toss lightly with remaining dressing; cover and refrigerate 1-2 hours.
Drain pea mixture and seafood; arrange in mounds on a serving platter lined with lettuce leaves; garnish with cherry tomatoes.
