Squid & shrimp in one dish…
Shrimp stuffed squid is a delightful seafood dish that combines the delicate flavours and textures of shrimp and squid. The other day, I had both shrimp & squid in my freezer, my intention was to make a dish with these. So I made shrimp roast & stuffed in the squid tube, cooked the stuffed squid & then pan fried.
This dish is not only delicious but also presents beautifully, making it suitable for both everyday meals and special occasions.
