Thank you Christmas is fast approaching and I would like some easy peasy seafood recipes for Christmas Day?
Fresh Oysters with a little pickled ginger and wasabi with a tiny dash of soy
Oysters Kilpatric- chopped red onion, bacon and parmesan with a little worchestorshire sauce then grill approx two to 5 mins.
Prawn cocktail - boil prawns, mix one third tomato sauce with two thirds mayo, add a little sherry and a dash worchestorshire sauce, season to taste,serve in a martini glass on a bed of crispy ice berg lettuce, add prawns pour on sauce, dont go overboard, garnish with avocado and lemon
If your game try raw fish, dice the fish fillets into 1cm cubes splash with enough lemon juice to turn the fish white, then add coconut milk, spring onions, chilli flakes to taste, lemon rind. only use fresh fish for this.
If you have whole squid tubes cut into little rectangles and with a small knife lightly score the inside of the tube in a criss cross pattern, soak in milk for an hour then drain, fry very quickly over high heat and add a little kelp pepper and high quality sea salt.Christmas is fast approaching and I would like some easy peasy seafood recipes for Christmas Day?
Prawns are great simply cooked in a bit of fresh garlic and olive oil, or even just steamed in white wine. The biggest mistake that people make with seafood, is they try to cover it with so many different flavors, you lose the natural flavor of the shellfish/fish. Calamari rings (dont flash fry in batter as fried), cook them in some light olive oil and add them to a dish of marinara sauce, chili sauce and chopped walnuts. Remember, do NOT cook the calmari rings for long at all, they will become very rubbery. If the oysters are fresh, why not serve them raw over ice with some lemon and horseradish? Also, fried oysters are a huge hit in the states. Dip the oysters in beaten egg, and then coat them in cracker crumbs, and cook them in a light oil in a pan until they are crispy and brown. With a whole fish, maybe a great fish stew where guests can simply scoop it up into a bowl and serve themselves? Enjoy!
