Ingredients
- 6 pieces jumbo shrimp, shelled
- 4 oz (120 g) salmon filet for sashimi, sliced
- 4 oz (120 g) calamari legs
- some vegetables and mushrooms of your choice (such as asparagus, baby bell peppers, enoki mushrooms, etc.) (optional)

Procedure
- Season the seafood lightly with salt and pepper.
- Set a portable gas stove on a dining table. Set "Yaki Yaki San" on the stove, and pour water into the reservoir up to about 80% full.
- Heat "Yaki Yaki San" over high heat for 5 minutes. Turn down the heat to medium.
- By using a brush or folded paper towel, rub the oil all over the grill top.
- Place the seafood on the grill and cook until your desired doneness. Grill vegetables, if you like, too.
- Serve with ponzu sauce and grated daikon. You can also make lettuce wraps, too.
Each person gets a bowl of dipping sauce. Stir in some grated daikon or you can also use it as a topping. Lettuce and other condiments can provide other serving variations.
