15 minutes
Seafood cocktail is an exquisite dish inspired by Mediterranean cuisine, where fresh seafood is paired with a flavorful dressing. Light, refreshing, and elegant, it is perfect for a festive table or a romantic dinner. Cooked seafood acquires a tender texture, while the zesty sauce with lemon juice, capers, and garlic adds depth of flavor. Crispy lettuce leaves make the composition even fresher, and basil adds a summery touch at the end. Serving in individual glasses is not only aesthetic but also allows each guest to enjoy their own portion. This dish surprises with its combination of simplicity in preparation and gastronomic sophistication, making it a true gem of gourmet cuisine.
