Seafood and Vegetables

Method

Preparation and Cooking

1

Prepare the Citrus Butter

In a small saucepan, melt 100 grams of butter over low heat. Add the zest and juice of 1 lemon and 1 orange, stirring until combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.

2

Prepare the Seafood and Vegetables

In a large bowl, combine the sweet prawns, scallops, king crab legs, bok choy, manila clams, and oyster mushrooms. Drizzle with half of the prepared citrus butter and toss gently to coat.

3

Cook the Seafood and Vegetables

Preheat a grill or a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Spread the seafood and vegetable mixture evenly across the grill or skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the seafood is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.

4

Serve

Remove from heat and drizzle with the remaining citrus butter. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
