Receta Seafood Ciopinno With Soft Shell Crab
This is a dish adapted from a restaurant my family ate at sometime ago, & I tried making it for my hubby’s Birthday Seafood Galore.
I love cooking Bouillabaisse at home. It’s rich with assorted seafood & I can add whatever I find in the supermarket – mussels, clams, prawns, fish, squid etc. To reproduce the restaurant’s version of Ciopinno, I just need add Linguine & Soft Shell Crab.
