Paua slices & Squid tubes

Karl got some Paua and he has a different method of eating them to Sam's Paua fritters. His are sliced.

For prep, he cuts the muscle  off  the middle of the paua, slicing straight, and then divides the rest in half.
He then boils for about 40 seconds, the 3 pieces, so need enough water so that there is not an immediate cool down when the pieces are thrown into boiling water.
After that he heats up frying pan with sweet chili sauce (The Trident brand has a nice bite to it) and olive oil and garlic. Then he puts the 3 pieces of paua in and turns them over regularly until the white side is caramelized, about half way through he takes out the muscle bit and sets aside. Throw in a bit more olive oil (otherwise chili sauce dries and goes black).
When done he takes out the other 2 sides and slices them into about 2mm thick slices.
 Then on a plate and dig in.

I also wanted to have some squid as well, I'd bought some frozen tubes, so looked on Mr YouTube and found this video:
  I did the slicing of the tubes and cut them into pieces and threw them in the boiling water for about 30 seconds (they were very thin tubes) and then plunged them into cold water.
 I cooked them up with the garlic, chili sauce and olive oil with the Paua near the end of the Paua cooking time.
I had a light salad with the seafood and it went very well.
