Having a big seafood spread doesn’t always mean a huge preparation and cooking time. If you have an oven in the kitchen, here’s a quick and simple way of conjuring up a seafood spread that is not only delicious, but also very simple to make.
Here is my way of exploiting this seafood bounty in under half an hour. Here I use fish, prawns, and squid, but you can also easily add clams or even crabs in the mix. While I use barramundi (siakap) here, the type of fish is also replaceable.

- one barramundi fish (siakap)

KY cooks – Baked Barrumundi & Seafood Recipe
Previously, it was a convenient one pot meal…and now it’s a fuss-free one tray meal (well, it could have been one tray if you had a large enough one…hehehe)! 😉 The best thing about a meal like this is that there’s very little washing up to do…just eat direct off the tray. 😀
eatwhateatwhere: haha yah, it’s a lot easier prepping & cleaning for sure!
Gorgeous! That banana leaf will bring the taste to a whole new level!
