Treat your ingredients with care...
- Shrimp — Make sure to devein and remove the shells before cooking to enhance the texture and flavor of the dish.
- Squid — Clean the squid thoroughly and slice it into rings for even cooking. Avoid overcooking to prevent it from becoming rubbery.
- Mussels — Clean the mussels by scrubbing the shells and removing the beards. Discard any mussels that do not close when tapped.
Tips & Tricks
- To enhance the seafood flavor, use homemade shrimp broth instead of store-bought.
- For a spicier kick, add chopped chili peppers or a dash of hot sauce to the sauce mixture.
- Customize the toppings by adding other seafood like crab meat or clams.
- If annatto oil is not available, substitute it with turmeric powder for a similar vibrant color.
- To save time, prepare the shrimp broth in advance and store it in the freezer for future use.
