Recipes for Scallops with XO Sauce

Clean scallops with running cold water.
Reserve the shells.
Place scallops with shells in a large plate and put in a steamer,
or in my case I use an electric wok and steam for three to five minutes.
Less time needed if you like it raw.

Then add a tablespoon of sauce on top when it's ready to serve.

For the sauce:

Finely chop garlic and chillies mixed with XO sauce (from Asian grocery)
and olive oil in a sauce pan use low heat.
Then add in finely chopped spring onion and parsley.
Mix them well and add on top of the scallops.

That's it.
Very quick and easy.
Same sauce can be used for steam oysters or fish.

Homemade Delicious!

I love seafood and crab is one of the most delicious food on earth.

Ginger and shallot crab, Singarpore chilli crab, steam crab...Yum!

It needs some professional skill to cook live crab

but this crab claw dish is very simply to cook.

Same way to cook as prawn tempura and I added some orange juice to batter and
served them with sweet and sour sauce.

Crab Claw Recipe

Dip crab claw into batter (tempura mix from Asian gorcery shop) to coat evenly one at a time.

Shake off any excess.

Add crab claws to sunflower oil and cook for 4 to 5 minutes or until golden brown.

Use a slotted spoon to transfer crab claws to a tray lined with paper towel.
