This "garlic seafood coffee" is rich in ingredients, so it is very easy to make a dish that can be equivalent to half a table. The ingredients I use here are two abalone, half a catty of fresh shrimp, half a catty of razor clam, half a catty of snail, four or five octopus, vermicelli, Flammulina velutipes, garlic, cooking oil, soy sauce, sugar, edible salt, clear water, chicken essence, pepper, ginger and onion. Although the preparation method of this seafood feast is simple, the ingredients used are rich, so the steps to deal with the ingredients will be a bit cumbersome.

First, the ingredients are separated and processed step by step. The processing of abalone is complicated, so it is necessary to clean the inside and outside of abalone with a small brush, then cut it along the joint of abalone shell and abalone meat with a knife to remove internal organs and some extra impurities, and finally wash it. Fresh shrimps are specially treated. Generally, the shrimp line is taken out, and the fresh shrimp is kept intact, and the shrimp shell is not removed, so that the nutrients in the shrimp shell will penetrate into the ingredients with the cooking process.

Then you need to soak the clams, snails and clams in clean water, add a little edible salt, soak them in order to make these ingredients spit out sediment, and then wash them several times until the water is no longer turbid, that is to say, it has been washed almost. Then you can clean the octopus and remove a layer of film and impurities inside. At this time, the seafood part has been processed almost.

Soak the vermicelli in cold water for about 3~5 minutes, and wash the Flammulina velutipes for later use. At this time, you can prepare a large steaming plate. First, drain the soaked vermicelli and spread it on the bottom of the steaming tray, and then spread the Flammulina velutipes evenly on the vermicelli. Put these two ingredients in the tray for later use. In addition, garlic is chopped and cut into minced garlic, pepper is also cut into minced garlic, and ginger is cut into shredded ginger. At this time, you can put the processed fresh shrimp into a container, add a proper amount of shredded ginger, a spoonful of soy sauce, a spoonful of oyster sauce, a little edible salt and sugar, and stir and marinate for a while.

Then prepare a pot of clean water, add a proper amount of ginger slices, onion knots and a spoonful of cooking wine to boil, pour the shellfish into the pot of clean water and blanch. When you see that all the shellfish are shelled, you can quickly remove them for use. At this time, you can make a sauce, add a proper amount of cooking oil to the pot, pour garlic into the cooking oil and stir-fry, let the cooking oil wrap the garlic and fry it golden brown.

Then add a proper amount of chopped pepper and stir-fry for a while, then add soy sauce, sugar, edible salt and chicken essence to taste, and add half a bowl of water at the same time, then turn the heat down and cook the sauce a little thicker. Finally, turn to the fire and collect the juice, so that the special sauce for seafood is ready. Finally, spread the cleaned seafood evenly on the Flammulina velutipes, then pour in the sauce that has just been cooked, and finally put it in a steamer to steam for 20 minutes until all the seafood is steamed, thus making the garlic seafood coffee.

In the process of making this "garlic seafood coffee", seafood can be blended according to personal preferences, and I use my favorite ingredients here. When dealing with shellfish, be sure to soak them in salt water in advance, so that the sediment can be treated more cleanly. In the process of blanching, we should also pay attention to that if the blanching time is too long, the meat will get old and it will not taste so fresh and tender. At the same time, it is also very important to cook the last garlic juice, which can greatly improve the taste of this seafood, so it takes some thought to cook garlic juice. As long as the ingredients are processed according to the steps, I believe everyone can make this seafood feast, and interested friends can try it!
