Directions

1.

Firstly begin by marinating & skewering the Scallops & Prawns

Firstly begin by marinating & skewering the Scallops & Prawns, dependant on the size of the scallops you may wish to halve them through the middle so you have 2 thick pieces rather than an oversized piece (you will want these to cook in the time the prawns take to cook.

Next make the Nam Jim

Next make the Nam Jim by adding the scallions to a bowl, pour in the sugar, lime and fish sauce and mix until dissolved. Finally chop the remaining ingredients for this very finely and stir, taste for seasoning and adjust if needed with the fish sauce, lime & sugar. Balance is the key to this beautiful hot punchy dressing!
