Method
Method for the seafood sauces:
-Blend the garlic, red chilli and coriander in an electric blender (I used a handheld blender) until the mixture forms a rough paste.
– Put 1 tablespoon of chilli paste into a small bowl then add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of the fish sauce and 1 teaspoon of honey. Mix it well. Your spicy seafood sauce is now ready.
-In the other bowl, put 1 tablespoon of the chilli paste, 1 tablespoon of tamarind sauce, 1 teaspoon of fish sauce, 1 teaspoon of lemon juice and lastly the coconut sugar. Mix well. Your sweet and sour seafood sauce is done.
– Transfer both sauces into separate sauce bowls and garnish with coriander, then set aside.
Method for the grilled squid:
-Drizzle the rapeseed oil all over of the squid. Then season with salt and pepper.
-Heat a griddle pan, make sure it is red hot.
-Put the squid on the griddle pan and cook about 2 minutes on each side.
-Once the squid is cooked, transfer it to a serving plate. Enjoy Grilled Squid With Seafood Sauce and fresh vegetables of your choice. Yummy.
Tip:
Keep an eye on the grill while cooking the squid at all times. You don’t want to leave it on the grill for too long as it might turn into a rubbery texture. Happy cooking!
