Selection and Preparation of Seafood
Preparing seafood is key to an incredible salty tronchetto. Knowing how to choose and prepare seafood makes a difference. A good dish becomes something special.
Professional Cleaning of Prawns and Clams
Cleaning seafood is very important. For the shrimp, I do the following:
I remove the head and shell
I remove the digestive tract with a thin knife
Rinse with cold water
Dry well with absorbent paper
For the clams, I soak them in salt water. This is how they remove sand and dirt.
Perfect Cooking of Seafood
Cooking seafood beforehand is key. This way they stay fresh and tasty. I recommend cooking them quickly.
