Lemon, butter and garlic pasta with seafood

We interrupt the series of Tokyo postings to bring you the latest home-cooked food by the MIL. We both swear by the Periplus recipe books which are so simple, so good, so reliable and so cheap. I've cooked an awesome lamb shank pasta before from the book - which i probably should write a post on - and I can completely say with confidence that these $5 books are great value.

She used the lemon and garlic pasta recipe and improvised it by addingseafood cooked in butter and garlic. She used a mixture of salmon steaks, squid, prawns and clams, and tossed the pasta in a garlic butter sauce with sun-dried tomato and rocket leaves, with grated lemon zest and lemon juice sprinked on top. So simple and so yummy.

All the seafood - each fried separately

The clams were super fresh

The squid - there wasn't quite enough methinks

A close-up - I was surprised how good the lemon zest was
