Seafood Delight with Squid Tentacles

 Seafood Delight with Squid Tentacles


A Seafood Delight with Squid Tentacles is a flavorful, hearty dish that combines various seafood with tender squid tentacles in a savory sauce. Here's a recipe that showcases the rich taste of squid along with other seafood, perfect for a luxurious meal.

Ingredients:

  • 8-10 squid tentacles (fresh or frozen, cleaned)
  • 12 large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 8-10 small scallops (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced thinly
  • 1 zucchini, sliced thinly
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 1/2 cup fish stock or water
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish
  • Optional: Red pepper flakes for heat

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Squid and Seafood:

    • If using frozen squid tentacles, thaw them and pat them dry with a paper towel. Cut them into bite-sized pieces if desired.
    • Season the shrimp, scallops, and squid tentacles with a little salt and pepper.

  2. Sauté the Vegetables:

    • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and onion, cooking until fragrant and softened, about 3-4 minutes.
    • Add the red bell pepper and zucchini to the skillet, cooking until just tender, another 3-4 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.

  3. Cook the Seafood:

    • Add the squid tentacles to the skillet, cooking for 2-3 minutes, until they begin to turn golden and slightly crispy.
    • Add the shrimp and scallops to the pan. Sauté everything for 4-5 minutes, or until the shrimp are opaque and the scallops are lightly golden and firm to the touch.

  4. Make the Sauce:

    • Pour in the white wine and fish stock, stirring to deglaze the pan, scraping up any flavorful bits stuck to the bottom. Let it simmer for 3-4 minutes, allowing the sauce to reduce slightly.
    • Stir in the heavy cream, lemon juice, dried oregano, and season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Simmer for an additional 2 minutes, letting the sauce thicken slightly.

  5. Finish and Serve:

    • Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to suit your preferences.
    • Transfer the seafood and vegetables to a serving plate, garnishing with fresh parsley for a burst of color and flavor.

This Seafood Delight with Squid Tentacles pairs wonderfully with rice, pasta, or crusty bread for a complete meal. The combination of tender squid, shrimp, and scallops in a creamy, savory sauce will make this a favorite in your seafood repertoire. Enjoy!
