From Caper's Community Market, via the Vancouver Sun. Spot Prawns are native to the BC coast and are DELICIOUS! They are meaty, yet tender compared to tiger prawns etc. This sounds very good.

This is modified from a recipe I found online. You can use whatever mix of seafood you like, but I like the mix below, so that's what I used here. Also, the original recipe called for 1 Tablespoon of fish sauce, but we don't care for it so we omitted it, but feel free to add it to yours!

Time 38m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

Ingredients

1/2 lb swordfish (or other very firm fish)
1/4 lb shrimp
1/2 lb sea scallops
1 mango, peeled and cut into bite-sized pieces
1 cup snow peas
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 small onion, sliced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 mango, peeled and sliced
1 red chili pepper
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon lime juice
2 tablespoons Splenda brown sugar blend (or use regular brown sugar)
1/2 cup cilantro
1 tablespoon ginger, minced

Steps:

Place all stir fry SAUCE ingredients together in a blender or food processor. Process or blend until smooth. Taste-test the stir fry sauce for sweetness - you want a balance of flavors: tangy, but definitely more sweet than sour. If needed, add 1 teaspoons to 1 tablespoons additional sugar. (Note: the sweetness of the sauce will depend on how sweet your mangos are.).
Prepare all other ingredients for stir-frying, and place next to the stove. If using fillets of fish, gently cut them into cubes. For shrimp, be sure to remove the shells. If you are using clams and/or mussels, rinse with cold water, removing any surface debris.
Pour 1 tablespoons canola oil into a wok or large frying pan and place over medium-heat heat. Add the garlic, onion, and snow peas. If using clams, add them now as well (Note: clams require a longer cooking time than mussels). Stir-fry 1-2 minutes, or until snow peas turn bright green. Add up to 1/3 of the stir-fry sauce when your wok or frying pan becomes dry.
Add the rest of the stir-fry sauce, plus the red pepper and seafood. Stir-fry gently, so that you don't break any shells. Also, if using fish fillets, these require extra gentleness, or they will break apart.
Stir-fry 5-7 minutes, or until all the seafood is cooked (mussels and/or clams should open after 7 minutes - if not, discard).
A minute or two just before serving, add the mango pieces (these just need warming).
Serve hot from the wok with rice or cooked barley on the side. Sprinkle with fresh coriander and decorate with lime wedges, if desired.

Tips:

Use fresh ingredients. This will ensure that your stir-fry is packed with flavor.
Prepare your ingredients in advance. This will make the cooking process go much faster.
Use a large skillet or wok. This will give you plenty of room to stir-fry the ingredients without overcrowding them.
Heat the skillet or wok over high heat. This will help to sear the ingredients and prevent them from sticking.
Stir the ingredients constantly. This will ensure that they cook evenly and don't burn.
Add the sauce at the end of the cooking process. This will help to prevent it from burning.
Serve the stir-fry immediately. This will ensure that it is at its best flavor.

Spot prawn, mango, and basil stir-fry is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and healthy meal. By following these tips, you can create a flavorful and satisfying stir-fry that will impress your family and friends.
