Ingredients
- 2 piadinas
- 10.6 oz cuttlefish
- 20 mussels
- 4 large shrimp (or prawns)
- 1 lime
- pink peppercorns
- arugula
- 4 pitted olives
Steps
For the recipe, I used a ready-made seafood salad consisting of cuttlefish and mussels to which I added the shrimp.
If making the salad at home, clean the cuttlefish and cut them into pieces, cook in a pan with a drizzle of oil with the lid closed for about 20 minutes, add the cleaned large shrimp and finish cooking for another 5 minutes.
Cut the piadinas with a 4-inch cutter and make 4 discs, place them inside a tart mold or muffin tin and bake at 350°F for about 8 minutes, they should turn golden.
In a bowl, combine cuttlefish, mussels, and shrimp, season with oil and lime juice.
Place some arugula at the bottom of the baskets and add the seafood salad, a large shrimp, a drizzle of oil, a lime slice, sliced olives, and a sprinkle of pink peppercorns.
