Cooking dishes with frozen sea cocktail.

Unexpectedly, guests suddenly appeared, but there is nothing in the refrigerator? In this case, it will easily help out Seafood Cocktail- it cooks quickly, makes any dish not only incredibly tasty, but also insanely healthy. Today's housewives very often have to cook dinner on hastily because the modern rhythm of life demands it. And it is the sea cocktail that becomes like a lifeboat.

How long to cook a frozen sea cocktail in time?

If we talk about the composition, then for different manufacturers it may differ slightly. But, in general, components such as shrimp, octopus tentacles and squid rings, as well as mussels, are considered basic. You can also meet scallops or cuttlefish, but extremely rarely.

As can be seen from the composition, this composition contains the maximum content of various useful elements and minerals. But seafood is very demanding on cooking. More precisely, by the time.

You need to cook a frozen cocktail for 3-5 minutes, no more
No need to defrost before cooking
Throw should be already in boiling and salted water

Why such a short time?

If you boil a sea cocktail for too long, then, for example, the squid can become rubbery. Yes, it will really be hard to chew and it will taste absolutely nothing.
- On a note! If the squid is digested more than the allotted time, then you need to cook it for 15-20 minutes so that it becomes soft again.
It should also be noted that the usefulness of products is lost under the influence of prolonged heat treatment.
The second reason is the pre-processing of products. Before freezing, they are not only cut and cleaned (shrimps and mussels), but also boiled.

IMPORTANT: There are two types of cocktail: raw-frozen and boiled-frozen. In the first case, it is necessary to cook food without fail, but in the second case, it is enough to defrost and reheat. But there are pitfalls here too.

The fact is that when defrosted, a beautiful mixture can turn into porridge. Therefore, even with boiled products, it is worth heat treatment. We indicated the time above, but for boiled foods, just re-boiling will be enough.
Many are confused by the fact that the products are different, which means that they need to be cooked for different times. Now the main secret will be revealed - the products are selected in such a way that their cooking time is approximately the same. For example:
- squid cook 2-3 minutes.
- mussels - 3-5 min.
- The octopus will also be ready in 3-4 minutes.
- and even shrimp are cooked no more than 5 minutes.

It is not necessary to defrost the cocktail before cooking, it is enough to throw the mixture into boiling water (salted) with bay leaves, allspice and black pepper (you can use broths, vegetable or fish instead of water).

Boil mixture should be no more than 7 minutes (from the moment the mixture enters the pan). Otherwise, you risk getting something that resembles rubber in consistency - just as indigestible and tasteless. Boiled seafood is thrown into a colander.

Often a sea cocktail fry. In a frying pan (deep, with a thick bottom), heat the olive oil, spread the frozen mixture there and fry until the liquid has evaporated.

By the way, they can be fried and thawed. They can be stewed in cream and wine, or pickled. In addition to lemon juice, sea fruits go well with sauces (creamy, sour cream, even tomato, with pepper and spices).
