Seafood is the food of true gourmets. Shrimp or mussels are often used to make salads or other delicious dishes, but there are several mistakes in boiling or frying such products that makes them tasteless.

FoodOboz editorial team will tell you about the basic rules of seafood cooking. There are several important nuances to consider.

Overfilling the pan

Overloading the pan is one of the worst mistakes when cooking seafood. If there is too much food in the pan, it can be cooked unevenly: some parts will be overcooked and others raw. Always leave enough space to ensure that the heat is distributed evenly.

Excessive mixing

Avoid overstirring. Allow seafood to brown on one side before turning it over. Frequent stirring can break the texture and lead to uneven cooking, which can result in a tasteless dish.

Cooking over high heat

Cooking seafood at too high a temperature often results in a loss of tenderness and juiciness. Instead, choose moderate or low heat. Slow cooking helps to preserve texture and flavor.

Using the wrong ingredients

Check recipes carefully and choose the right ingredients. The wrong foods or spices can ruin the flavor of a dish, so read labels carefully and make sure you have all the ingredients you need. Seafood is a very specific food and not all ingredients go well with it. We are talking about alcohol such as whiskey or rum, very flavorful spices, red meat and dark sauces.
