FAQs

What type of seafood works best in this recipe?

You can use a pre-mixed frozen seafood blend, typically including shrimp, squid, and mussels. However, feel free to customize it with your favorite seafood, such as clams, scallops, or even fresh fish pieces.

How do I know when the seafood is cooked?

Shrimp should turn pink and opaque, while squid and mussels should be tender but not rubbery. If using shellfish like mussels, make sure they’ve opened, and discard any that remain closed after cooking.

  1. hey, was thinking of making this for a small get together this weekend, wondering if it’s okay to mix different types of seafood or should i just stick to one kind? also, any wine pairing suggestions? thanks!

  2. For those wondering, it’s crucial not to overcook the seafood. Ideal internal temp for shrimp is 120F, and for scallops, it’s 130F. Always check with a thermometer if you’re unsure!
