Today was one of those days where I just wanted to relax and have a glass of wine (or a couple more) along with a small portion of something tasty and simple. After a long Sunday morning of work, I came home and did exactly that. The sweet pepper sauce was so tasty that I’m definitely going to use it with other grilled meat or maybe even pasta. And the grilled seafood are simple to make. Just toss with a little olive oil salt and pepper and throw on a hot pan. And don’t be afraid of using frosted seafood, truth is my calamari was fresh but my shrimps where from the supermarket… But the whole plate was delicious!
Ingredients
- 4 medium to large squid; prepared and cleaned
- 12 king prawns; shell on
- 2 tbsp. chopped parsley; to garnish
