Recipe of Lobster turnips

Lobster-style monkfish is a classic Spanish dish that surprises with its flavor and texture, ideal for special occasions or as a treat. Despite its name, it does not contain lobster, but rather the monkfish is cooked with a sauce that mimics the color and taste of this shellfish, thanks to sweet smoked paprika from La Vera. This recipe is perfect for those looking for an easy-to-prepare fish dish with an elegant and very tasty touch.
