SHABU SHABU WITH SEAFOOD, VEGETABLES AND STEAK

SHABU SHABU SEAFOOD, VEGETABLES AND STEAK

DINNER AT HOME

This is one of our favorite dinners when entertaining friends and family.  It just takes a little prep work cutting vegetables and you have a fun and healthy meal that will get everyone eating more vegetables.  Yes you use some butter so it is not fat free.  You can substitute cooking spray for the butter but you will really lose a whole lot of flavor.  The good thing about this dinner is that you can use whatever you have in the refrigerator and it will come out great with the dipping sauce.  The sauce is called Batayaki Sauce (Soy Sauce, Ginger Juice, Lime Juice, Brown Sugar, Water, Daikon and Dashinomoto Seasoning).  We added some toasted sesame seeds too.  Cooking is simple.  Add butter to your Indoor Grill Pan and then add the seafood, vegetables and beef.  We use a long pair of wooden tongs to turn the food while cooking.  Make sure you salt and pepper all of the food to taste.  As you get going, let some of the diners take turns cooking.  Everyone (even children) will get into cooking on the grill so you have some fun and get everyone involved.  This is a great dinner party!
I know this is not traditional Shabu Shabu where the food is cooked in a broth.  Just our way of doing it at home.
