Red fish and shrimp puree soup

Red fish and shrimp puree soup is an exquisite dish of Mediterranean cuisine that combines the tenderness of seafood with the velvety texture of creamy soup. Its roots trace back to the traditions of coastal regions where fresh fish and shrimp are dietary staples. The broth, rich in fish flavor, gains depth from long simmering of bones. Grated vegetables add a light sweetness and density, while cream softens the taste, giving it airiness. Shrimp added at the end retain their tenderness, and dill enhances the marine aroma. This dish is perfect for a cozy family dinner or an elegant gathering. Served hot and garnished with olives that add zest. Rich in proteins and healthy fats, this soup is not only a gastronomic delight but also a nutritious choice for connoisseurs of refined cuisine.
