Step cooking
- A few cloves of garlic need to be peeled, washed and cut into thin slices.
- Wash the chili pepper under running water, cut lengthwise into two parts, carefully remove the stem and all the seeds, try to chop the pepper as finely as possible.
- Seafood needs to be prepared for use. If you have chosen a frozen product, then you need to get it out of the freezer at least an hour before the start of cooking, so that all components defrost. If you purchased fresh seafood, then if necessary, peel and wash them. You can choose both allsorts, and any one product to which you give more preference. With assorted seafood, we proceed as follows. Cut squid meat into thin strips.
- Octopus, large mussels and a large shrimp - in small pieces. If the shrimp and mussels are not very large, then you can leave them whole.
- Put the paste in a pot of boiling, salted water. Cook until cooked. Meanwhile, you need to cook seafood.
- Place the pan on the hob and pour a little olive oil. Once the oil has warmed up, put the garlic and chili peppers in the pan and fry it for literally one minute, stirring occasionally. This must be done so that all the spice from these spices saturates the oil for frying seafood. If desired, garlic and pepper can then be removed from the pan.
- Add seafood to spiced oil. Pour the shrimp first and fry for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Then send the mussels to the shrimp and fry for another 1-1.5 minutes.
- At the end, send the octopus and squid meat to the contents of the pan, fry everything very quickly, just a few minutes. Do not forget to stir a little.
- Pour the cream into the seafood, salt a little if desired and add ground pepper. You can also grate another garlic clove on a fine grater and add to the seafood pan.
- Rinse the paste lightly under running water and separate from the liquid. Pour the pasta into the seafood pan, as soon as the cream begins to thicken a little, mix everything well.
- Turn off the heat and the seafood paste is ready.
- Serve the dish with a variety of salads and drinks, preferably hot and generously sprinkled with grated Parmesan cheese.
