Seafood includes crustaceans such as: lobsters, shrimps, crabs and molluscs such as scallops, oysters, cuttlefish and octopus. In almost every store you can buy mixes that contain a selection of different seafood. I really like this type of ready-made mixes, because they are perfect for pasta, risotto and pizza.
About two weeks ago, I bought a pack of fresh seafood. Unfortunately, due to the lack of time, I did not manage to prepare it right away and had to freeze it. Yesterday, I dug it out of the freezer and made it with tomato sauce and served it with spaghetti.

Good to know when making seafood spaghetti.
If you use frozen seafood, it must be defrosted first. You can let it stand for a while at room temperature. If you want to defrost it a little faster, put the seafood in a lukewarm, but not hot water for a few minutes.
