Ingredients
  

  • 16 raw king prawns
  • 8 scallops
  • 12 baby squid
  • 1 small salmon fillet cut into small chunks
  • 1 lemon
  • 2 tbsp olive oil good quality
  • 2 handfuls rocket

Chargrilled vegetables

  • 1 yellow pepper cut into chunks
  • 1 courgette sliced length ways
  • 1 red onion cut into quarters
  • 1 aubergine sliced into rounds
  • 1 tbsp rapeseed oil

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 160°C / 140°C fan / gas mark 3. If using wooden skewers, soak them in cold water whilst preparing everything else. Prepare your seafood and place onto a plate, then squeeze over lemon and drizzle with oil. Season with a little salt and pepper. Cover and put in the fridge.
  • Slice all your veg and brush each side with a little oil. Place all the veg on a griddle pan turn after a minute or two until they have some colour. You might have to do this in batches if your pan is too small. When all your vegetables are done place into a baking dish and season with salt and pepper, then place into the oven for 15-20 minutes
  • Assemble your seafood onto the skewers. TIP: Fold the salmon and prawns to puncture twice with the skewer. This should make them more secure.
  • Once you have assembled your skewers, place them onto a hot griddle pan. They should take about 5-7 minutes to cook, you will soon start to see the seafood to change colour.
  • When your seafood skewers are cooked place them onto a bed of rocket and serve with the chargrilled vegetables. Enjoy with an Italian spritz.
