Shallots10, halved

Instructions

1
Prep the squid: clean, rinse and dry; wet seafood steams instead of searing.
2
Heat oil and fry the aromatics — onion, garlic, green chili — till soft and golden.
3
Stir in the shallots with the ground spices and let them sizzle and darken slightly.
4
Sear the squid quickly on strong heat — it should curl and blush, not stew.
5
Squeeze lemon over, scatter the black pepper and cilantro, and get it to the table in ninety seconds.

Chef's tip

Prawns take two minutes a side; anything more is rubber.
