just enough sweetness to marinade. Combine all marinade ingredients and
set aside. Place all poaching ingredients in heavy duty pot and bring to
a simmer. Add raw seafood and gently poach (do not boil!!! ) 2 to 3
minutes so that seafood is almost cooked ( just a bit raw ) in middle Do
not over cook. Place the poached seafood in the marinade , cover and
marinate at least 2 to 6 hours. It may be chilled in the refrigerator.

Note 2: If preparing a variety of seafood, poach each kind in it’s own
