Ingredients

2 People

For the scallops and octopus:
8 Scallops (fresh or defrosted)
2 Octopus' arms (cooked and as a whole arm)
4 stalks Lemongrass (cut diagonally into 20-25 cm pieces)
For the marinade:
2 tbsp. Olive oil

1 handful Fresh Thai basil, roughly chopped
Salt and pepper
As decoration:
Lime wedges and Thai basil

Preparation

Step 1

Mix the olive oil, orange juice, orange zest, chopped chili, Thai basil, salt and pepper in a bowl. Cut the octopus arms into 2-4 pieces, depending on their length. Add the octopus pieces and mix well. Leave to marinate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 2

Carefully place the scallops in the marinade and only marinate for about 5-10 minutes. This will prevent them from becoming too soft.

Preheat the grill. Place the skewers on the WMF table grill and grill for about 3-4 minutes on each side until the scallops are lightly browned and the octopus is warm.

Step 5

Arrange the skewers on a serving plate and serve with fresh lime wedges and fresh Thai basil, if desired.
