Ingredients
- 2 piadine
- 10.5 oz cuttlefish
- 20 mussels
- 4 jumbo shrimp (or regular shrimp)
- 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 you prepare the salad at home, clean the cuttlefish and cut them into pieces, cook in a pan with a drizzle of oil with the lid on for about 20 minutes, add the cleaned shrimp and complete the cooking for another 5 minutes.
Cut the piadine with a 4-inch cutter to make 4 discs, place them inside a tart or muffin mold and bake in the oven at 356°F for about 8 minutes, they should turn golden.
In a bowl, combine cuttlefish, mussels, and shrimp, dress with oil and lime juice.
Place some arugula at the bottom of the baskets and add the seafood salad, one shrimp, a drizzle of oil, a lime slice, sliced olives, and a sprinkle of pink peppercorns.
Bon appétit
