Check out the sea food recipe below as shared by the good chef.
What you need:
Okro (about N300 worth, roughly chopped)
1 kilo of shrimps (cleaned and seasoned with salt and white pepper)
500 grams dried crayfish
500 grams dry fish
Seasoning cube
1 kilo crab claws (or crabs if you like)
500g jumbo prawns (marinated with dry pepper, fish seasoning and a hint of garlic)
Chunks of white fish (red snapper or catfish). This should be well seasoned to your preference. I used garlic, seasoning cubes and white pepper.
Salt to taste
For the pepper sauce you need the following:
600 grams chillies (I used Ata Rodo)
Roughly chopped onions
Garlic
Seasoning cubes
4 tablespoons of palm oil
Salt to taste
Directions:
– Bring a pot to boil and add your crayfish to the boiling water along with the dried fish and a table spoon of your roughly chopped ata rodo.
– Add the okra and leave to simmer slightly till the okro looks like it almost ready. Stir the soup around and taste for seasoning but hold back because the seasoned seafood may change the taste for better when its added.
– Add the crab claws (It is important that you crack the crab claws slightly so that the flavours can really penetrate the crustacean). Leave it for about 7 minutes then add the white fish and prawns. In another 7 mins add the shrimp to cook a little for 2 more minutes and you’re done.
Pepper Sauce
– In a blender, pulse the pepper (ata rodo) with some onions into a rough chop like for ofada sauce.
– In sauce pan heat up the palm oil till its smoking hot but not bleached and pour all the pepper and onions in, allowing it to simmer in a medium low heat till the pepper is cooked.
– Add salt and the seasoning cubes to taste. The pepper sauce is a garnish and a side sauce so you can add as much heat as you like to your own plate of food!
