Great seafood gratin!

Fresh ingredients are the main secret of this beautiful tasty dish! Therefore, what seafood to choose will be decided on the spot when you are at the fish market and you discover the catch of the day! You can choose to use a single seafood type (scalops, shrimps, fish fillets, OR various types of clams … ) or a mix of different ones. To prepare your seafood for this recipe follow these instructions:

• Shrimp : peel by first removing the head then the tail shell. Run a tip of a knife along the back and pull out any visible dark tracks. Note that in some recipes (buzara) whole prawns and whole shrimps are included and no peeling or cleaning is requiered.

• Razor clams wash and leave for at least 4 hours immersed in water and salt to clean them from the sand.

• Scalops ask your fisherman to clean them and give you as well the shells to be used in the cooking process.

Note that when using razor clams after cleaning add them to a saucepan and cook over medium heat until all shells are opened (1 to 2 minutes). Pour the contents of the pan into a colander and drain. Discard any clams that haven’t opened.
