| 1. First prepare all the ingredients as described above - keep any ends and trimmings of garlic, shallots, coriander root, lemon grass, mint and coriander stalks, and odd bits of lemon grass and a couple of spare kaffir lime leaves aside to flavour the water you're going to cook the seafood in. | 2. Next, make the dressing as it has to sit for at least 15 minutes for the flavours to merge. | 3. To make dressing, mix together all ingredients and taste to ensure there is a good balance of hot, sour, sweet and salty - adjust ingredients as necessary. | 4. Now prepare to cook the seafood. | 5. Using a very sharp knife, score the inside of the squid tubes diagonally, then score in the opposite direction (to form a diamond pattern). | 6. Cut the squid into rough triangle shapes - about 4 per tube. | 7. Prepare a medium bowl of ice cold water, with ice cubes in it, and sit it by the stove. | 8. Fill a large pot with water and add ends and trimmings as described above and a couple of tablespoons of salt. | 9. Bring water to a rolling boil then add the seafood in small batches, cooking prawns for about a minute, and squid for about 30 seconds. (The seafood can be a bit hard to find in the water, so just add a little at a time, and you'll have to 'fish' for it.) | 10. Remove seafood and immediately plunge into iced water. This cooking technique will make the squid so tender you won't believe it! | 11. When seafood is completely cold, prepare salad. | 12. In a large bowl toss together pawpaw, shallots, coriander, mint leaves, lemon grass, kaffir lime leaves, seafood and 1/4 cup of the hot and sour dressing (serve any remaining dressing on the side). | 13. To present salad, transfer to a plate, bring most of the seafood to the top and arrange decoratively, then sprinkle with crushed peanuts and crispy shallots. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
