How to prepare Fregola with Seafood
Let’s start preparing the fregola with seafood. Wash the clams and then place them in a bowl, cover them with water and add a pinch of salt. Let them purge for a few hours in the refrigerator.
Also clean the mussels from impurities attached to the outside and remove the filament. Shell the shrimp and remove the internal black vein.
Pour some oil into a large pan and add a clove of garlic. Add the mussels and clams, cover with a lid, place on the heat, and let them open.
In another pan, add some extra virgin olive oil and a clove of garlic, add the cherry tomatoes cut in half and cook for a few minutes. Then add the shrimp and cook them for a few minutes.
Cook the fregola in slightly salted boiling water, following the cooking time indicated on the package. In the meantime, shell the mussels and clams and then add them to the pan with the tomatoes and shrimp.
Once the fregola is cooked, drain it and add it to the pan with shrimp, clams, and mussels. Sauté everything, and if necessary, you can add a few tablespoons of the cooking liquid from the clams and mussels.
Serve the fregola with seafood hot.
