Eating And Storage Tips

I absolutely love making extra of this dish up and having it cold for leftovers the following the day. I simply let it cool in a container before putting the lid on and then storing it in the fridge. Where it’s done with a previously uncooked seafood selection you absolutely could reheat this dish again but just make sure it is fully heated through and consider that the texture of the dish may change too.

I just put a basic seafood selection in here of mussels, prawns and squid rings but you could absolutely add chicken and chorizo or other seafood things as well. If you want to make it more fancy you can absolutely do it completely fresh and even present it with things like the shells still as well.

Add salad on the side or things like fresh crusty bread on the side as well to make this meal stretch even further, give you something to soak up any juices or just add a little added freshness and vibrancy too.
