20 minutes
Fried seafood with garlic and tomatoes is the essence of Mediterranean flavor, combining the freshness of the sea with aromatic herbs. This recipe, inspired by European culinary traditions, recalls dishes enjoyed along the coasts of Italy and Spain. Octopus, squid, and shrimp soaked in garlic oil acquire a tender texture and rich taste, while cherry tomatoes add a hint of acidity and juiciness. Parsley and rosemary provide a touch of freshness, making the dish truly balanced. It is best served hot with a glass of white wine and a piece of crusty bread to highlight the elegance and harmony of flavors. Perfect as a light dinner or an exquisite appetizer for special occasions.
