The recipe for squid with shrimp in a creamy sauce is very simple. The taste of squid, its nutritional value and health benefits are valued all over the world. When buying this seafood, pay attention to the color of the meat under the skin. It should be light cream color. Yellow or purple color of the carcass means repeated defrosting during storage. It is better to defrost it naturally in the refrigerator or in warm salted water. The meat should be elastic and have a dense consistency.

How to cook Shrimp and squid in creamy sauce

Step 1

Boil the squid. Bring water to a boil in a saucepan and add salt. Place the prepared carcasses in the boiling water and bring to a boil again. Remove the saucepan from the heat and leave the squid under the lid for another 5 minutes. Then drain the water and cool the meat well. Cut the cooled squid into strips.

Step 2

Fry the seafood. Pour oil into the frying pan and heat it up. Add chopped onion and fry for 2-4 minutes until soft. Pour in garlic and fry everything for no more than 1 minute. Add shrimp, boiled squid and mussel meat to the onion frying, stir. Then pour cream over the seafood and stir thoroughly again. Reduce heat to low, simmer the seafood under the lid for 1-2 minutes. The main thing is not to overcook the seafood, so that it does not become “rubbery”.
