A flavorful and spicy seafood stir-fry featuring shrimp, squid, and mussels tossed in a bold Cajun seasoning mix with garlic, oyster sauce, and sweet chili sauce, finished with fresh green onions for a zesty and satisfying meal.

Ingredients

Scale

Seafood

  • 10 oz shrimp, cleaned and deveined
  • 8 oz sliced squid, cleaned
  • 1 cup mussels

Sauce & Seasoning

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning (extra spicy)
  • 3 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sweet chili sauce

Garnish

  • 1/2 cup green onions, sliced

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pan and garlic: In a large pan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes, taking care not to burn the garlic.
  2. Add seafood: Add the cleaned shrimp, sliced squid, and mussels to the pan. Stir-fry the seafood for about 2 minutes, allowing it to begin cooking and slightly firm up.
  3. Add sauces and seasoning: Mix in the oyster sauce, Cajun seasoning, and sweet chili sauce thoroughly to coat all the seafood evenly. Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes until the seafood is fully cooked and the sauce has thickened slightly.
  4. Garnish and serve: Remove the pan from heat and sprinkle the sliced green onions on top as a fresh, flavorful garnish. Serve immediately and enjoy your spicy Cajun seafood dish.

Notes

  • Ensure seafood is cooked just right to avoid toughness – shrimp should be pink and opaque, mussels opened, and squid just tender.
  • You can adjust the level of spice by modifying the amount of Cajun seasoning used.
  • Serve this dish over steamed rice or with crusty bread to soak up the flavorful sauce.
  • Using unsalted butter allows better control over the dish’s saltiness when combined with oyster sauce.
