How to make a sea cocktail with rice? Prepare the necessary ingredients. The set of vegetables can be changed at your discretion. Choose the vegetables you like best. If the vegetables are frozen, defrost them in advance so that the glass has extra moisture. You can buy a sea cocktail ready or collect it yourself. I have shrimp, squid and mussels. Pre-thaw the seafood in the fridge. Olive oil can be replaced with any odorless vegetable.

Rice is better to use long-grain steamed. Rinse the rice well several times in cold water to remove starch substances on the rice grains. As a result, the rice will be crumbly.

Cook the rice in boiling salted water at moderate boiling until cooked, stirring occasionally. Rice grains should be undigested, moderately soft, slightly elastic. Roll the rice on a sieve so that the glass is water.

Wash the pre-peeled onions, cut into small cubes.

Peel the carrots, wash, cut into strips.

Wash the bell peppers, remove the seeds and stalk, cut the peppers into medium straws or cubes.

Wash the zucchini, cut into small cubes. You can take a regular courgette. If the vegetable is young with a thin, intact skin, it is not necessary to cut it. If using a more mature vegetable, cut off the coarse skin and cut out the seed middle.

Peel the garlic. Cut the garlic into plates or finely chop.

In a pan, heat the olive oil. Simmer the garlic for 1 minute to make the oil fragrant. Remove the garlic from the pan. If you want the finely chopped garlic to be present in the dish, fry it along with the onions and carrots.

Add the chopped onions and carrots to the fragrant oil. Fry, stirring, over a medium heat for 3-4 minutes.

Add the green peas, stir. Fry for 1-2 minutes.

Put the zucchini in the pan, stir. Cook vegetables for 2-3 minutes.

Pre-drain the liquid from the canned corn. Add the corn and bell pepper to the pan. Mix everything. Fry the vegetables for a few more minutes, focusing on the softness of the vegetables.

Wash the sea cocktail beforehand, drop on a sieve so that the glass is water. Spoon the seafood to the roasted vegetables.

Salt, add black ground pepper, herb mixture, stir.

Cook seafood with vegetables for 5-7 minutes until cooked.

Put the cooked rice in the pan, stir. Warm up a sea cocktail with rice 1 a minute.

Serve the sea cocktail with rice immediately to the table, sprinkling with fresh herbs. Enjoy your meal!
