Ingredients

Servings

For the poaching liquid

  • 8 cups water
  • 2 lemon sliced, plural
  • 1 tsp chili flakes
  • 3 garlic sliced, cloves
  • 2 tsp salt

For the seafood

  • 500 g (1lb) Shrimp
  • 500 g (1lb) mussels
  • 250 g (½lb) calamari
  • 250 g (½lb) baby squid
  • ½ cup celery finely chopped
  • ½ red onion finely chopped

For the dressing

  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp oregano dried
  • ½ tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. Combine all the poaching ingredients in a large pot set over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil.
  2. Add the calamari and squid heads and allow to poach for a minute or two until just cooked. Drain with a slotted spoon and add to a large bowl.
  3. Add the shrimp and mussels then turn off the heat and allow to poach for 4-5 minutes until just cooked.
  4. Drain with a slotted spoon and add to the bowl with the calamari. 
  5. In a separate bowl, mix together all the dressing ingredients.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. I like to make the dressing a little too acidic and too salty to make sure the seafood is well-seasoned.
  7. Pour the dressing over the seafood then add the finely chopped celery and red onion.
  8. Stir to combine then allow to marinate for 30 minutes then serve.
