|
- 2 crabs
- 12 large tiger prawns
- 1 kg fresh clams soaked in salt water
- 1 large squid
- 20 mussels
- 1 sweet corn on the cob chop into 4 pcs
- 4 tbsp salted butter
- lemon sliced for garnishing
- 3 tbsp cajun spices
- 1½ tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp ground black pepper
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ cup white wine optional
- 2 large parchment papers or baking paper the size sufficient to wrap the seafood
- 2 large pieces of foil
- oven safe for deep serving dish
- Crab: Brush the shells to clean the exterior. Remove the shell and quarter the crab. Crack the claws so that it is easier to peel off the shell. Alternatively, you may ask the fishmonger to dissect it for you.
- Squid: Remove the head and deskin. Cut the body into rings and rinse thoroughly.
- Prawn: Use a pair of scissors to cut off the antenna, legs and rostrum. Rinse thoroughly, do not soak in water as it flavours from the prawns would be less intense.
- Clams: Brush the shells. In a pot of hot water, add in clams. Once a majority of the clams have opened their shells, remove from water. #Tip: Rinse and toss to remove the sand. Dispose clams with unopened shells as they are not fresh.
- Mussels: Brush the shells. Allow the same pot of water to boil, add in mussels. Once a majority of the mussels have opened their shells, remove from water. Rinse in running water to remove the sand and peel off the impurities. Dispose mussels with unopened shells as they are not fresh.
- Preheat the oven at 190 degree Celsius.
- Mix all the seasoning in a bowl.
- In an oven-safe deep dish, lay aluminium foil and parchment paper.
- Add in all seafood. Pour the seasoning over it. Give it a good toss and top it off with butter. Wrap tightly and bake it for 50 minutes.
- Garnish with some lemon slices before serving.
#Tips: Do not leave any openings before baking as to prevent the content from drying up. This also helps to lock in the moisture and give the broth the sweet seafood taste in the bag.
#Tips: It is cooked when you can smell the aroma of the seafood when you remove it from the oven!
