The shrimp and cuttlefish salad is delicious whether eaten hot or at room temperature, making it perfect even during the summer. You can prepare it in advance, and if you like, you can also add boiled potatoes or raw vegetables such as julienned carrots or celery.

How to prepare Cuttlefish and Shrimp Salad

Let’s start preparing the Cuttlefish and Shrimp Salad. Clean the cuttlefish, remove the innards, bone, eyes, and beak, and rinse them under running water. You can have your trusted fishmonger do this part for you. After washing, separate the head from the body of the cuttlefish. Remove the fins and skin and wash both the body and tentacle parts very well, then cut everything into pieces.
Squeeze the juice of the lemon,
pour some extra virgin olive oil into a bowl,
the lemon juice,
pepper,
salt
and emulsify by whisking with a fork.
Pour water into a pot, put it on the heat, bring to a boil, then add the cuttlefish pieces and cook for 25 minutes.
Pour water into another pot and put it on the heat, bring to a boil, add the previously peeled shrimp and removed intestinal thread, and cook for 4 minutes.
Remove the shrimp from the water and place them in a bowl,
drain the cuttlefish as well and place them in the bowl with the shrimp.
Season with pepper,
the oil and lemon emulsion,
salt
and chopped parsley. Mix everything and let it sit for a few minutes before serving.
