Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make pasta with mussels, shrimp and squid? Prepare the necessary ingredients. I took each type of seafood separately; you can use a ready-made seafood cocktail. Thaw seafood first. How to do this correctly, read the link at the end of the recipe. Wash and dry the mussels. Use pasta made from durum wheat. Anything will do, like spaghetti or linguine. Remove the cream from the refrigerator in advance.

Step 2

Step 2
Peel the squid from the skin and thin film. Remove the chitinous plate inside. Rinse the squids well, dry and cut into short ribbons.

Step 3

Step 3
Peel the shrimp from the shell, remove the head and tail, wash and dry. When peeled, I got 130 grams of shrimp. You can take peeled shrimp of any type and size to your taste.

Step 4

Step 4
Cook the pasta. In a saucepan of suitable size, bring water to a boil. Salt the water and lower the pasta. Mix well to prevent the paste from sticking. Cook the pasta at a moderate boil until al dente. Cooking time will depend on the quality of the pasta, follow the instructions on the package.

Heat olive oil slightly in a frying pan. Place the garlic slices. Sweat the garlic in oil for 1 minute and remove from the pan. The oil will acquire a piquant aroma. If you want garlic to be present in the dish, you can chop it finely or pass it through a press and leave it in the pan.
