Method

  • Start by combining all the sauce ingredients in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, over a medium heat, stirring frequently.
  • Reduce the heat and allow to simmer for 10-15 minutes or until the sauce thickens up. Season with salt and pepper then leave to cool to thicken.
  • For the squid and prawns, add the coconut oil in a medium sized frying pan and place on a medium heat.
  • Wash the squid and pat dry. Slice horizontally into rings. Place the squid on to a plate along with the prawns, making sure any black bits have been removed. Finely grate over the lime zest to coat.
  • Place the flour, paprika, and salt and pepper in a bowl. Toss the prawns and squid into the flour then fry in the pan for 4-5 minutes or until golden and crispy and cooked through.
  • Transfer the squid and prawns on a plate with kitchen roll to remove any excess fat. Season with salt and pepper and serve with a squeeze of lemon juice, chopped chilli, coriander and the chilli jam.
