#2 Spicy Seafood

To prep the food, just slice up the onion, grate the ginger and mince the garlic. I didn't have a grater, so I used a spoon. Worked just as fine. Then wash the mussels and shrimps. Cut up the squid hood into thin slices.

Add oil to a heat pan, then add the onions, garlic and ginger. Cook til onion is soft.

Add Pepper, Paprika and Turmeric powder. Cook til the spices separate from the oil.

Then add sea food and cook for about 5-6 minutes or until done.

Add tomatoes puree and the rest of the spices. ( I added salt and more sugar and paprika than the ingredient indicated but it's up to your taste buds)

Serve with rice or noodles! YUM!




This one was a new one for me. It's origin is all the way from Sri Lanka. I got to use a new ingredient so I was excited and didn't know what to expect. The taste is interesting and different! I love it.

The only thing is that I think either I had too much seafood, or the flavoring wasn't up to where I'd like. I know some culture use less spices that others so it really just comes down to taste buds. So I added a little bit more sugar and paprika. My spice tolerance is higher than most, so it wasn't spicy to me. And since it is called spicy seafood, I took the liberty of adding some Sirachi (hot sauce).
