Celebrate Australia Day in style with this quintessentially Aussie grilled seafood platter. Featuring barramundi, prawns, and scallops, this dish highlights the fresh, bold flavours of Australian seafood. Perfect for sharing with family and friends at an outdoor barbecue, this platter is complemented by a zesty lemon-garlic butter that elevates every bite.

Ingredients:

400 g barramundi fillets
300 g large prawns, peeled and deveined
200 g scallops
2 tbsp olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
3 tbsp unsalted butter

Instructions:

1 Prepare the Seafood and Marinade
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, and parsley. Season with salt and pepper. Brush the barramundi fillets, prawns, and scallops generously with the marinade. Let marinate for 10 minutes while you prepare the grill.
2 Grill the Seafood
Preheat the barbecue or grill to medium-high heat. Place the barramundi fillets on the grill and cook for 3–4 minutes on each side, until the flesh is tender and flakes easily. Add the prawns and scallops, grilling them for 2–3 minutes per side until just cooked and lightly charred.
3 Finish with Lemon-Garlic Butter and Serve
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Stir in the garlic and a splash of lemon juice. Arrange the grilled seafood on a platter, drizzle with the warm lemon-garlic butter, and garnish with parsley. Serve immediately with grilled vegetables, crusty bread, or a crisp green salad for a perfect Australia Day feast.
