Seafood Marinade

ITALIAN MARINATED SEAFOOD SALAD

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to boiling. Cook scallops, shrimp, mussels, and calamari in boiling water for 2 minutes. Drain. Peel the shrimp, and shell the scallops and mussels.
• Place cooked seafood and olives in a large bowl, and toss with lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, parsley, chives, and red pepper flakes. Chill for 1 hour.
• Divide salad greens onto 6 plates or salad bowls. Spoon seafood over greens. Garnish with slices of lemon and red onions. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

HONEY ORANGE FISH FILLETS

Steps:

• Combine the orange juice concentrate, oil, honey, dried dill weed, white pepper, salt, and orange zest, and pour over the fish in a glass baking dish. Cover and chill 30 minutes. (You can also make this without marinating the fish; just broil it and brush with the marinade.)
• Remove the fish from the dish and reserve the marinade. Grill or broil the fish 4 to 6 inches away from the heat source (either over medium coals or under a hot broiler), turning carefully once and brushing with the marinade until fish is thoroughly cooked and flakes easily when tested with a fork, about 5 to 10 minutes.
• If the fish is less than 1/2-inch thick, you can broil it without turning, which makes the recipe much easier. Discard any remaining marinade and serve the fish immediately.

Steps:

• In a food processor, combine the chilies, garlic, shallots, turmeric, tomato, ginger, coriander, candlenuts and shrimp paste. Process until the ingredients are well ground but not pureed.
• In a medium-size saute pan, heat the oil over medium heat and add the chili mixture, lemongrass and palm sugar. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool to room temperature. Remove the lemongrass stalks and stir in the tamarind paste and salt. Use as a marinade for seafood and as a condiment. Store, covered, in the refrigerator for up to three weeks.

HOW TO MAKE SEAFOOD SAUCE

Steps:

• Put the ketchup, horseradish, juice, and sauces in a bowl. Get out a small bowl and put 1/2 cup (115 g) of ketchup into it along with 2 tablespoons (30 g) of horseradish, 1 teaspoon (4.9 ml) of lemon juice, 1⁄2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) of Worcestershire sauce, and 1⁄2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) of hot sauce.Tip: For the most intense flavor, use freshly squeezed lemon juice instead of bottled.
• Whisk the sauce and taste it. Use a whisk or fork to combine the sauce ingredients until they're completely smooth. Then dip a clean spoon into the bowl and taste the sauce. Adjust the flavorings according to your taste. For example, if you want a saltier flavor, mix in a few more drops of Worcestershire sauce. To make it spicier, stir in more horseradish or hot sauce.
• Serve the cocktail sauce with shrimp. Spoon the sauce into a serving bowl and set it out along with boiled and cooled shrimp. Classic cocktail sauce is also great with oysters, clams, and steamed crab legs. Cover and refrigerate the cocktail sauce for up to 1 week. Discard any sauce that you've already dipped into with shrimp or seafood.

GRILLED MARINATED SHRIMP

• Preheat grill for medium-low heat. Thread shrimp onto skewers, piercing once near the tail and once near the head. Discard marinade.
• Lightly oil grill grate. Cook shrimp for 5 minutes per side, or until opaque, basting frequently with reserved marinade.
