Boil the eggs and, after cooling, cleanse the shell. Separate the protein and cut it into pieces.

Crab meat is finely chopped. Boil the shrimps and remove the shell from them.

In a bowl, mix protein, squid, crab meat and almost all the red caviar, leaving it for a bit on the decoration. We dress the salad with mayonnaise and put it in a prepared salad bowl. We level the surface with a spoon. In the center we lay out the remains of red caviar with a small hill, around which we have shrimps in the shape of a flower. It is possible to make a fringing with chopped herbs of dill.
