Ingredients

Proteins

  • 200 g large prawns, peeled and deveined
  • 150 g scallops
  • 100 g squid, cleaned and sliced

Aromatics

  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 pinch white pepper

Sauces & Seasonings

  • 120 g unsalted butter
  • 30 ml extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 pinches sea salt

Other

  • 300 g spaghetti
  • 5 g fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. 1

    Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Add spaghetti and cook until al dente (usually 9-10 minutes). Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Heat olive oil in a large wok or pan over high heat. Season prawns, scallops, and squid with salt and white pepper.

  3. 3

    Add seafood to the wok and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until just cooked through. Transfer to a plate.

  4. 4

    Reduce heat to medium. Add butter to the same wok and let it melt, swirling occasionally.

  5. 5

    Add minced garlic and continue cooking, stirring constantly, until the butter turns golden brown and emits a nutty aroma (about 2-3 minutes). Watch carefully to avoid burning.

  6. 6

    Add the cooked spaghetti to the burnt butter and garlic mixture. Toss well to coat evenly. Add the cooked seafood back to the wok.

  7. 7

    Toss everything together for 1-2 minutes until well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and white pepper if needed.

  8. 8

    Divide into serving bowls. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately while hot.
