Salad shrimp squid crab sticks

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make a salad with shrimp, squid and crab sticks? Prepare the specified ingredients. Remove the squid, shrimp and crab sticks from the freezer in advance so that they have time to defrost. Wash cucumbers for salad, dry and trim the edges. Be sure to try a cucumber, whether it is bitter, such a fruit can spoil the salad. Cut the cucumbers into small cubes and put them in a salad bowl.

2. Step 2:

   

   Scald the thawed squid with boiling water and remove the skin from them. Clean the carcass from the entrails and the chord — a rigid plate, then rinse the squid with running water. Put the carcasses in boiling salted water and boil them for no more than three minutes (otherwise the squid will be tough). Remove the boiled squid from boiling water and cool them, and then cut into thin strips. Put it in a bowl with the cucumbers.

3. Step 3:

   

   Remove the thawed crab sticks from the package, remove the film from them. The film in which each crab stick is wrapped is sometimes poorly removed. To facilitate the process, hold the sticks over the steam for 1-3 seconds. Cut the chopsticks into small cubes. Put them in a salad bowl with previously prepared ingredients.

5. Step 4:

   

   Boil the eggs. How to cook hard-boiled eggs? So that the eggs do not crack when cooking, put them in cold water and put them to cook on a small fire. Boil the eggs for 9 minutes after boiling, then pour cold water and cool. From a sharp temperature drop, the shell will be better cleaned. Peel them from the shell and cut into cubes. Add the chopped eggs to the salad bowl.

6. Step 5:

   

   Shrimp are usually sold already boiled. It is enough to defrost and clean them. But it is also better to lower them, like squid, into boiling water for a couple of minutes — they will taste better. Then peel the shrimp from the shell, tail and insides. Add to the salad. Also put mayonnaise in the salad (you can use a mixture of sour cream and mayonnaise) and salt. Do not over-salt the salad, mayonnaise already contains salt.

7. Step 6:

   

   If desired, for sharpness, you can add onions to the salad, for this it needs to be finely chopped. The finished salad can be served immediately on the table, or you can cool it in the refrigerator before serving. Bon appetit!
