Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tbsp olive oil
250 g (½lb) shrimp / prawns (peeled and deveined)
150 g (5oz) mussel meat ((approximately 500g with shells) )
150 g (5oz) calamari tubes / squid heads
2 tbsp butter
4 garlic cloves (crushed)
½ tsp chilli flakes
½ cup white wine
1-2 tsp lemon juice
1 cup cream
salt and pepper (to taste )
½ cup parsley (finely chopped)
500 g (1lb) pasta (cooked + 1 cup cooking water reserved)

Steps:

  • In a large pan, add a splash of oil and allow to heat up.
  • Season the seafood with salt and pepper then cook in batches until golden brown.
  • The shrimp/prawns should take no more than a minute per side (depending on size) and the calamari and mussels will take only a few minutes to cook. Take care not to overcook the seafood as they will go tough and rubbery. Rather undercook slightly as it will cook a little more while being tossed with the sauce and pasta.
  • Remove the seafood from the pan and set aside.
  • In the same pan, melt the butter and add the garlic and chilli flakes. Cook until fragrant then pour in the lemon juice and wine.
  • Bring to a simmer and allow to reduce by half.
  • Pour in the cream and allow to come to a simmer. Allow to cook for 5 minutes or until the sauce coats the back of a spoon.
  • Add the seafood (and any of its resting juices) and parsley and stir to combine.
  • Toss the sauce with cooked pasta and a splash of the pasta cooking water and toss to coat the pasta. Serve sprinkled with parsley.

Time 23m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 21

olive oil
4 firm white fish fillets (I used cod but any white fish is fine,sea bass, orange roughy, hake etc.. Just note there are two ca)
125 g mussels, meat
120 g peeled cooked prawns
3 garlic cloves, crushed
4 green onions
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon fish stock, powder
1/2 teaspoon vegetable stock powder
2 teaspoons cornflour
1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 cup dry white wine
135 ml sour cream
1/2 cup cream
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon gruyere cheese
1 tablespoon parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon dill
pepper
1 medium carrot, chopped
100 g green beans, trimmed

Steps:

  • Note make the sauce first and leave on heat as the fish fillets cooking time are very quick.
  • In a fry pan heat a little oil and cook garlic slightly, you don't want to burn it, add the green onion and cook for about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
  • Boil, steam or microwave carrots and beans until tender, set to one side.
  • Heat milk in pan, add both the stocks. Blend cornflour with a little water and add half the mixture stir until sauce thickens slightly.
  • Add sour cream, lemon juice, white wine, cream and mustard stir until thoroughly.
  • combined.
  • Add cheeses and stir until melted, add garlic onion mixture and dill. If the consistency of the sauce is not to runny like a broth, don't add the remaining cornflour. If it needs to be thickened up a little more to make it more of a sauce, this is where you add remaining cornflour. I add a little at a time until desired consistency. ( I don't know why but sometimes I need all of the cornflour and other times what I add in the beginning is enough.).
  • Add the carrots, beans, mussel meat, and prawns. Leave over low heat while you cook the fish, stir sauce occasionally.
  • Pour a little oil in a pan and heat. Pat fish on both sides lightly with flour, place fillet in pan (pan should be hot enough that fish sizzles when added, turn heat down to a medium high heat immediately) Cook, without moving fish, until edges of fillets are opaque and bottoms are golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Turn the heat up on the sauce, so it is nice and hot when served. Turn fish over and cook again without moving fish, 3-4 minutes. This is for thick fillets, for thin it will only be 2-3 minutes a side.
  • To serve place a mound of mash potato in a large bowl, place fillet on top and pour sauce over.
