Seafood Shellout Recipe with Noxxa Pressure Cooker

Shellout Seafood Siesta

Whether it is spelt ‘shellout’ or ‘shell out’, both terms mean the same thing – a seafood platter that you should feast upon using your hands with friends and family.

Shellout basically refers to several crustacean creatures in a pot all boiling together for some amazing flavour combinations that will have your guests salivating. In this recipe which uses the Noxxa Electric Multifunction Pressure Cooker, you will need several seafood items as well as vegetables.

Once you’ve made this dish, it is best served on a large banana leaf or plate that allows multiple people to eat from the same leaf or plate. No utensils needed, so get down and dirty to get the juicy flesh out of the shellfishes.

Tip: For hygiene purposes, one can always opt to serve the dish to each person separately. Also, if seafood allergies and health conditions are a concern, the ingredients can be replaced with chicken and/or lamb instead.
