This sounds yum yum... I can understand the obsession. thanks for the post...


This sounds like the seafood antipasto I had years ago in Sardinia in the town of Palau at an outdoor cafe. Add some arugula, maybe sundried tomatoes... you are there.. thanks for the post.


Great post
Shocking the calamari in an ice bath is essential step as you know calamari is unforgiving and will get tough if over cooked even a little. I love the heat too.

I left the shrimp, crab and scallops out as I just wanted a calamari dish. Was fabulous.
