Sizzling Prawns & Scallops image

Lovely prawns and scallops in a mouth watering sauce which is delicious mopped up with some crusty bread. Listen to the sizzle as its served up on a sizzling plate! It seems like a lot of ingredients but is definitely worth it. Use as many prawns and/or scallops as you see fit. Can adjust sauce to suit number of guests - e.g. double the amounts to serve 4. Once you've made it once you will have a better feel for how far the sauce will go around.

Steps:

  • Put sizzler plates in oven. Rub prawns and scallops with salt, leave for 5 minutes, and rinse with water very quickly for about 2 seconds.
  • Pat dry the prawns and scallops. In a bowl, toss them with the marinade; set aside for 30 minutes.
  • In a bowl, mix together the chicken stock, soy sauce, rice wine, sugar and cornflour; set aside.
  • Preheat a wok over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of the oil and half the salt. Add prawns and scallops to the hot oil, stir-fry for about 1 minute. When prawns turn pink and scallops begin to feel firm to the touch, remove from the wok; set aside.
  • Reheat the wok. Add 1 tablespoon oil. Add the ginger, garlic, remaining salt, spring onions and chilli paste; cook gently for 15 seconds. Turn heat to high; toss in the cucumber. Stir-fry for 30 seconds. Add the sauce mixture and stir quickly to thicken.
  • Return the prawns and scallops to the wok, add the vinegar and sesame oil; quickly toss for a few seconds to reheat.
  • As soon as they are finished, transfer them to the sizzler plates and quickly pour the mixture onto the hot platter and listen to it sizzle. Serve with crusty bread to mop up the sauce.
