Encontra uma belíssima receita e não poupa nos ingredientes: o melhor camarão, vários tipos de bivalves frescos, tudo cuidadosamente escolhido. Depois, confiante nas escolhas que fez, opta por juntar tudo numa taça ao mesmo tempo e envolver preguiçosamente durante uns segundos, antes de levar ao microondas por uns minutos. Ficou a saber a marisco, mas...
