Mixed seafood, vegetables “a la plancha”, red quinoa huancaina sauce

This dish blew us away! Ordered this amongst the many selections of fish & meat for the boyfriend who’s a seafood lover but it turns out to be a great choice for myself too! Hidden beneath the barbecued prawns (my, the charcoal fragrance from the prawns and squids were so so so promonient - thereby taking up this “grilled” prawn to the next level. How often d’you have grilled prawns truly “grilled”? I’d say many times I can’t quite differentiate them from the taste of stir-fried prawns! The dish is layered w plenty of grilled vegetables too, with eggplants and capsicums!! They’re slathered generously with some secret sauce - the name says huancaina (didn’t Google what that is) - and plenty of quinoa!! A rather interesting mix which proved to be an incredibly smart pairing - the crunch from the quinoa brings an added layer of texture to each bite of the veggie/ seafood!
