Squid in creamy sauce

Cookinero 29 Apr 2025

Squid in a creamy garlic sauce is not only a tasty but also a healthy dish, as the seafood contains a large amount of protein. Cooking this dish will not take much time. However, to make the dish tasty, special attention should be paid to the choice of squid. Be sure to pay attention to the color of the meat under the skin: it should be light cream color. To make the dish more filling, serve the squid with rice or fresh vegetables.

Add the cheese and garlic and mix well. Reduce the heat to low. Add the fried mushrooms, salt and spices to the sauce. Stir, cover and simmer for 2 minutes.

Yes, you can substitute champignons with cremini, shiitake, or oyster mushrooms for a different flavor and texture.
For a lighter option, replace heavy cream with half-and-half, coconut milk, or a dairy-free alternative like cashew cream.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stove to prevent the sauce from separating.
Yes, omit the squid and add extra mushrooms or tofu for a vegetarian version. Adjust cooking times as needed.
Reheat on low heat with a splash of cream or broth, stirring occasionally to maintain creaminess.
Freezing is not recommended, as the creamy sauce may separate and the squid can become rubbery upon thawing.
