Steps:

• Combine and mix all dipping sauce ingredients in a bowl and place in the fridge.
• Combine all marinade ingredients in a bowl. Place prawns in large sealable bag and pour marinade over. Marinate in fridge for 30 minutes.
• Remove shrimp form marinade and sprinkle with salt, pepper and olive oil. Let shrimp come to room temperature.
• Preheat grill to 450ºF.
• Place shrimp on grill and cook 2 minutes per side, until pink and firm.
• Remove from grill and serve with dipping sauce.

Steps:

• If shrimp are frozen thaw overnight in refrigerator.
• Place remaining ingredients in a large skillet, bring to a boil and simmer for five minutes.
• Add shrimp, simmer for 5 minutes or until shrimp are opaque and pink.
• Serve over hot rice.
• Sprinkle with sesame seeds or peanuts.

Steps:

• For the tuna: Mix the paprika, granulated garlic, Italian seasoning, granulated onion, parsley flakes, black pepper and salt in a bowl. Sprinkle and cover both sides of the tuna steaks with the blackened spice mix. (You will have leftover spice mix that you can store for future use. The blackened spice is great on any meat.)
• Coat a large skillet with olive oil and put over high heat. Sear the tuna on both sides, about 15 seconds. Remove, slice and set aside.
• For the Cajun shrimp: Fill a saucepan over half full with water and put over high heat. Add the Cajun seasoning and shrimp to the water. Once you start seeing the water come to a boil, the shrimp are done. They only need a few minutes. Drain the shrimp in a strainer and put to the side.
• For the crab salad: Add the crab, mayo and sriracha to a bowl and mix. Set aside.
• For the spicy mayo: Add the mayo and sriracha to a bowl and mix. Set aside.
• For the taco salad bowl: Fill a deep pot with 5 to 6 inches of oil and heat to 350 degrees F. Place a tortilla in the middle of the pot and push down with a ladle to create a bowl shape. Keep the tortilla emerged in the oil until the tortilla turns a golden brown color, 1 to 2 minutes. Once done, flip the tortilla over and fry the other side for an additional 1 to 2 minutes. Remove and set aside. (Alternatively, premade taco bowls can be purchased in any Latin markets.)
• Arrange the shredded lettuce in the center of a plate. Alternate the avocado and tuna slices around the rim of the plate. Put the shrimp in the center of the bed of lettuce. Drizzle with some of the spicy mayo, eel sauce and sriracha around the rim of plate over the avocado and tuna slices. Place the taco salad shell upside down on top of the lettuce and shrimp. Top the taco salad bowl with a large round scoop of the crab salad and drizzle the remaining spicy mayo, eel sauce, and sriracha over the top of the crab salad and on the sides of the taco salad shell, giving the appearance of an erupted volcano.

Steps:

• Wash broccoli, remove and discard the stems.
• Cut the florets into small bite-sized pieces, about 2 inches in length.
• Place on a plate and set aside.
• Beat the egg whites and water together in a small bowl.
• Combine the cornstarch and flour in another bowl;season to taste with salt and white pepper.
• Heat a deep pan or fryer with 3 inches of vegetable oil to a temperature of 375 degrees.
• Meanwhile, dip the shrimp into the egg whites and then coat completely with the cornstarch flour mixture. Lay the shrimp out in a single layer on a sheet lined with waxed paper.
• Test oil by dropping in a few drops of cold water. If it quickly sizzles and pops, you're ready.
• Deep fry the shrimp, no more than 8 at a time, in the hot oil.
• When crisp and golden, transfer to absorbent paper to drain. It is important that the oil maintain a constant temperature of 350 degrees.
• Place the garlic, ginger, pepper flakes, and chopped garlic on a tray with the cup of wine.
• Place the hoisin sauce,honey, tomato paste, oyster sauce, chicken stock, vinegar and cornstarch in a small bowl.
• Have all these ingredients ready and near the stove for the quick action that will be required after stir-frying the broccoli.
• Heat a wok or large frying pan over a high flame.
• Add the peanut oil and swirl to coat the bottom.
• Quickly stir-fry the broccoli.
• In stir frying, keep the contents of the wok in constant motion, using a metal spatula or wooden spoon. This prevents browning and provides fast cooking.
• When the broccoli is bright green, after 1 minute, add 1/4 cup water and cover for 30 seconds.
• Make a ring of the broccoli around the edge of a platter and keep warm.
• Return the wok to the high flame.
• Add an additional tablespoon of peanut oil and cook the ginger, red pepper, and garlic.
• After 30 seconds add the white wine and reduce.
• Add the remaining sauce ingredients and bring to a boil.
• Taste and adjust seasonings, if necessary. You may also want to balance the flavors with additional honey or vinegar.
• When sauce becomes clear and thickens slightly, stir in the shrimp.
• Toss gently to coat.
• Add the scallions and pile the Volcano Shrimp in a mound in the center of the round platter with the broccoli.
• Serve immediately with steaming white or brown rice.
