Method

TIP
– Prepare your veggies and meats in the morning. Essentially it will allow the meats to marinade. The actually cooking of the dish only takes 45 minutes. 

MAKE GARLIC MIX 

Peel fresh garlic and mince. 

Add 2 tablespoons of Olive Oil.

Add 1/2 teaspoon of table salt and 1/4 of black pepper

Mix and place to the side.

Prep Meats :
 

CHICKEN
 

Cut Chicken breasts into cubes. 

Add 2 tablespoons of Olive Oil. 

Add 1 tablespoon of Marsala 

Add 1 tablespoon of Thai Red Curry 

Add 1 tablespoon of garlic mix 

Mix evenly throughout. Cover and let marinade in fridge for 2 hours or until needed.

SAUSAGES
 

Cut Italian sausages into 1/4 inch slices. Place in fridge until needed

RAW JUMBO SHRIMP ( 21/25) 

Peel and Devine 20 shrimp

Remove tail if you like, but not necessary. I did so this time round because it was easier for my 5 year old granddaughter to eat. Most restaurants keep the tail on for presentation. 

Add 1 tablespoon of mixed yellow curry

Add 1/3 cup of port or cognac 

Add 1 tablespoon of garlic mix. Cover and let marinade in fridge for 2 hours.
