What are the main hot and spicy seafood dishes you can cook? The answer to this question is simple and complex at the same time: almost any!
And this is true, because all seafood, without exception, is perfectly combined with each other, as well as with fish, rice and dough, with many vegetables and even mushrooms.
Most methods of heat treatment are applicable to seafood, which means that we can fry, bake, boil in water or steam, each time achieving a different textural and taste result.
The main hot seafood dishes are absolutely in all culinary traditions of the “coastal” peoples, which equips us with an endless list of recipes.
The only problem is that we do not always have fresh catch seafood at our disposal. Of course, frozen seafood loses in comparison with freshly caught or even chilled, but not so much as to abandon their use. You just need to defrost it properly, transferring it from the freezer to the refrigerator in advance.
One of the most popular dishes in Vietnam is pho soup. There are also a lot of varieties of this soup. The Vietnamese eat it early in the morning, and we were happy to join them.
Pan-fried rice with vegetables, seafood, egg and mushrooms with soy sauce. I love dishes in Japanese restaurants. I’ve been wanting to reproduce this myself for a long time. And I think I succeeded. I suggest you try this delicious and healthy dish.
This is a Swiss paella recipe that I cook all the time. paella is one of our family’s favorite dishes. I cook every second or third weekend, and I’m never bored! It is also very suitable for a festive table if one or two couples are invited.
Paella is for many the first thing that comes to mind when it comes to Spanish cuisine. And for the Spaniards, this dish is really iconic. The preparation of paella itself is an event and an occasion to invite friends and neighbors.
When I first came to Barcelona, I really wanted to try real Spanish paella. But the locals, who are well versed in cooking, told me that the “real” paella should be tasted in Valencia, and also warned that you should not go for paella to places located on every corner on tourist routes. Instead, I was offered to try to book a table in a small restaurant that is famous for its cuisine and revered by locals. I didn’t manage to get there the first time, in fact all the seats were booked, but when I got there, I was very surprised. It was there that I got acquainted with the most unusual paella of all that I have ever tasted. It was blackened! In order to somehow diversify the paella recipes presented on the site, I decided to reproduce the same, unusual, smoked paella, and at the same time introduce others to such an interesting option and an unconventional approach.
Paella… It is difficult to add something new to the main recipe of this Spanish dish. But I tried anyway. It turned out delicious, satisfying and beautiful!
In the Cantonese dialect of Chinese, the name of this dish means “little gift”. “Dim sum” – steamed little edible treasures hidden in dough baskets are popular almost throughout Asia. But the most favorite dish is still, I think, Chinese. The filling can be different. Today we have chopped seafood.
Cannelloni is a dish as characteristic of Italy as pizza and pasta, although in fact it is pasta with all kinds of fillings. I suggest you get acquainted with cannelloni with seafood. Interestingly, I met the idea of using crab sticks in this recipe precisely in the vastness of the Italian (!) culinary blogosphere. Apparently, there are problems with fresh crabs in Italy, and then high-quality crab sticks may well diversify the taste of the dish and add those sweet crab notes to it. In our latitudes, the situation with crabs is much worse, and sometimes you really want to treat yourself to Italian dishes, well – there is nothing easier!
It is under this name that a magnificent lasagna with seafood, an unusual sauce and juicy crab sticks is hidden. The mastermind behind this recipe is Jamie Oliver.
