Abstract : Let $p$ a large enough prime number. When $A$ is a subset of $\mathbb{F}_p\smallsetminus\{0\}$ of cardinality $|A|> (p+1)/3$, then an application of Cauchy-Davenport Theorem gives $\mathbb{F}_p\smallsetminus\{0\}\subset A(A+A)$. In this note, we improve on this and we show that if $|A|\ge 0.3051 p$ then $A(A+A)\supseteq\mathbb{F}_p\smallsetminus\{0\}$. In the opposite direction we show that there exists a set $A$ such that $|A| > (1/8+o(1))p$ and $\mathbb{F}_p\smallsetminus\{0\}\not\subseteq A(A+A)$.
