Bloody Mary Seafood Platter Recipes

COCKTAIL RECIPE: THE ULTIMATE SEAFOOD BLOODY MARY

Steps:

• Make the Bloody Mary mix: In a food processor, add the onion and water, and pulse until smooth.
• In a large pitcher, combine the onion purée and the remaining ingredients, and stir. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
• Make the grilled prawn(s): Place a grill pan over medium-high heat. Drizzle the prawn(s) with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Grill, flipping occasionally, until bright pink and the meat is cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Make the cocktail: Fill a tall glass with ice. Add the Bloody Mary mix and vodka, and tumble once. Drop in the oyster and garnish the edge of the glass with the grilled prawn. Then serve.

BLOODY MARY SEAFOOD SALAD

Steps:

• Heat 1 tbsp oil in a wok, then turn up the heat and add the garlic and scallops. Stir-fry for 30 seconds to 1 min until the scallops are just cooked. Tip onto a plate. Heat the remaining oil and stir-fry the prawns for 1-2 mins over a high heat until they turn pink, then season with some black pepper. Tip onto the plate with the scallops. Allow the seafood to cool completely.
• To make the bloody mary sauce, mix the tomato juice with the oyster sauce (use 2 tbsp for a stronger flavour), light soy sauce, rice vinegar and lemon juice. Taste and adjust the flavour with more of the ingredients if you want an even stronger flavour.
• When the seafood is cool, divide it between four glasses or small bowls, keeping 4 prawns for garnish. Add the celery and avocado to each glass and pour over the tomato mixture. Leave to marinade for 10 mins, or cover and chill for up to 4 hrs. Garnish each glass with the reserved prawns and some coriander.
