Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 1 cup chopped shrimp with tails, plus 4 whole, peeled and deveined
  • 1 cup chopped scallops, plus 4 whole
  • 4 shallots, chopped
  • 6 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1/2 cup mirin
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar
  • 16 ounces water
  • 1 1/4 cups chopped cilantro leaves
  • 1/2 cup chopped basil leaves
  • 3 green onions, chopped
  • 1/2 carrot, chopped
  • 4 (6-ounce) barramundi fillets, or substitute tilapia fillets
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1 tablespoon wasabi powder
  • 1 teaspoon hot chili sauce (recommended: Sriracha)

Directions

In a large saute pan, heat 3 tablespoons sesame oil over medium heat. To pan, add the chopped shrimp, chopped scallops, shallots and garlic. Cook until lightly golden. Add the mirin, soy sauce, rice vinegar and simmer about 5 minutes. Stir in the water and 1 cup cilantro and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer the broth until reduced by 1/3, about 20 minutes. Strain liquid and discard solids. Reserve the liquid.

Preheat grill or grill pan.

Combine the remaining cilantro, the basil, green onions and carrot in a bowl. Set aside.

Season the fillets with salt and pepper. Grill until tender and flakes easily. Set aside.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, toss the whole shrimp and scallops in wasabi and season with salt and pepper. In a medium saute pan, heat remaining 1 tablespoon sesame oil over medium heat. Cook the whole shrimp and scallops until golden on both sides. Set aside.

Place 1/4 teaspoon of the chili sauce in the bottom of each soup bowl. Ladle some of the broth into each bowl. Stir to gently mix the broth and the chili sauce. Lay 1 fillet of fish into the broth, then surround the fish with 1 shrimp and 1 scallop. Garnish with chopped cilantro, basil, green onions and carrot mixture. Serve immediately.

    Made this tonight for 3 kids and hubby. they all loved it. I left out the sirachi on the kids dish and only used a dash for me. My husband was in heaven. Definitely will make this again. The garnish was great but I made to much, next i'll make just a 1/4 of it. Also, i didn't have any mirin so i used white vinegar and added a teaspoon of sugar as per a recipe i saw.

    We used Cod with this recipe. Had it on Monday, soooo delicous! Then made it again with company on Saturday. They loved it and asked for the recipe. We added brown rice for Saturdays recipe and it soaks up the broth for extra flavor. Note that Mirim is with the asian seasonings and most grocers have it, but may not know it. Happy cooking!

    This is such a wonderful recipe. It was pretty easy to do, but don't forget to make sure the scallops are dry so they sear easily or you'll over cook them.
    I made this for my family and friends and if they had a straw, they would have used it to drink the sauce. Tilapia never tasted so good. It was easy too. I can't wait to try it with different types of fish. And sorry Red Lobster, it was so good at home, I think we'll just eat mine (where we can lick the plate.
    Thanks Jeffrey.
