Simply Seafood® Mixed Grill

Can't decide what to serve? Try a mixed grill: an assortment of fresh seafood basted with your favorite sauce. Garlic butter is delicious and simple, but if you want a contemporary twist, try adding orange juice and ground cumin, lime juice and chili peppers or even grapefruit juice and freshly chopped mint to the garlic butter mixture. Simply Seafood® Boneless Wild Keta Salmon, Wild Alaska Pollock, Farm-Raised Tilapia, Wild Cod, North Pacific Sole portions or fillets and Farm-Raised Bay Scallops are a good place to start.

Ingredients:

• 2 pounds Simply Seafood® boneless and skinless, firm fish portions fillets, or Bay scallops or skewered shrimp, and/or squid
• 3-4 pounds lobster, crawfish or cleaned crab
• 4-5 dozen live clams, mussels or oysters, scrubbed or Nelson Crab® Pacific Smoked Oysters

Garlic Lemon Butter

• 1/2 cup butter
• 2 cloves garlic, pressed or minced
• 2 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
• Dash Worcestershire sauce
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 1 Tbsp. freshly chopped herbs (thyme, chives, and/or parsley)

Cooking Instructions:

For the garlic lemon butter, melt the butter in a small saucepan with the garlic, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce and pepper to taste. Cook over low heat for 4 to 5 minutes, then take from the heat and stir in the herbs.

Preheat the grill and fire to medium-high heat. Clean and oil the cooking surface. Arrange an assortment of seafood on the preheated grill, making sure that there is at least 1 to 2 inches of space between pieces for good ventilation.

Cook each piece with individual attention, turning and basting with the garlic lemon butter once, until just opaque and cooked through. Skewered squid tubes will take only 2 to 3 minutes. Small fish portions and fillets, skewered shrimp and scallops will take about 4 to 6 minutes.

Split lobsters, large crab and thick fillets or steaks may take 12 to 15 minutes. Clams, mussels and oysters are cooked when the shells pop open (spoon some of the garlic butter onto the tender meats). As the seafood is cooked, transfer it to waiting plates, clean the grill and reload the next course. Serve with the remaining butter sauce for dipping.
