Sambal prawns and calamari

Sambal prawns and calamari

This dish is my favourite. Both my kids love it too. It is very easy to prepare and cook.

I make my own sambal but if you find that it is time consuming to make, it is easily available in any grocery stores or wet markets in Malaysia. You can purchase sambal from the Asian grocery stores in Sydney too.

Ingredients

300 gm calamari/squid (cleaned, scored and cut into pieces)

300 gm prawns (de shelled and deveined)

1 brown onion (finely chopped)

1 tbsp sambal (Recipe : http://5foodway.blogspot.com.au/2014/09/recipe-for-making-sambal.html )
