  • 2 - 6 fresh chilies, depending on heat preference
  • 1.7 oz grated parmesan cheese
  • 100ml olive oil

Instructions
Fish
  • Chop the parsley, dill and chilies. (Keep some dill aside for the stuffing.)
  • Mix the herbs with the juice of 2 lemons, 50ml olive oil, half the grated ginger, 2 cloves of chopped garlic, and chopped chilies, to create a marinade.
  • Stuff the fish with slices of lemon, lemongrass and fresh dill.
  • Generously rub the fish with the marinade.
Prawns & Mussels
  • Melt the butter.
  • Add a tablespoon of freshly chopped parsley, the juice of 2 lemons and 2 cloves of garlic.
  • Save some of this mixture for the mussels.
  • Baste your prawns in this sauce.
  • Baste the mussels and add a pinch of parmesan cheese to each one.
Grilling
  • Preheat the grill to a high heat.
  • With your fish generously coated in marinade, place it on the grill.
  • Grill time depends on the thickness of the fish - roughly 10 minutes per inch.
  • As soon as you turn the fish, add the basted prawns to the grill.
  • Close the lid.
  • When your fish is 2 minutes to ready, open the grill and remove it.
  • Place slices of lemon on the grill.
  • Return the fish to the grill, placing it on top of the lemon.
  • Now add the mussels.
  • Close the lid and allow the fish to finish cooking.
  • Your fish, prawns and mussels will all be ready at the same time.
