See RecipeTo keep seafood tender, avoid overcooking. Boil shellfish just until they open, and cook fish until it's opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Season your cooking liquid with aromatics like garlic, onion, herbs, and citrus to infuse the seafood with subtle flavors as it cooks.
Yes, the liquid can be strained and used as a flavorful base for soups, stews, or sauces, but be mindful of salt content before adding additional seasoning.
Boiling seafood with the shell on can protect the delicate flesh and add flavor to the dish, but it's not strictly necessary for all recipes.
Start with the seafood that takes the longest to cook and add the rest in stages, ensuring that everything is perfectly done at the same time.
