Chargrilled Dublin bay prawns with langoustines and crab claws

This dish looks great and tastes even better. Shellfish doesn't have to be scary to cook.

For the Dublin bay prawns:
600-700g fresh Dublin bay prawns
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
A pinch of rock salt
2 tsp fresh parsley, chopped
For the langoustines and crab claws:
½ tsp blackened Cajun seasoning (ready made is fine)
25g of unsalted butter, brought to room temperature
4 ready-cooked langoustines
8 ready-cooked crab claws

For the garnish:
1 lemon cut into wedges
4 sprigs of fresh parsley
For the accompaniments:
Boiled baby French potatoes
Mixed green salad leaves

For the Dublin bay prawns: put the prawns on a baking tray. Heat the grill to a high temperature and put the prawns under it cooking them for 5-10 minutes, turning them occasionally as they cook.

Remove from the grill and sprinkle the olive oil, rock salt and parsley over the prawns. Return them to the grill for a further 2-3 minutes.

For the langoustines and crab claws: mix the Cajun seasoning into the butter and melt the mixture in a heavy based frying pan over a low heat.

Cook the langoustines and crab claws in the seasoned butter for a few minutes, until they are warmed through.

To serve, either arrange the seafood on a platter as shown, or divide it up between the serving plates with the garnishes and accompaniments.
