• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 3 cloves, minced
• Lemon juice - 2 tablespoons
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper.
2. Add the shrimp, calamari, and fish pieces to the marinade, and toss to coat evenly. Let it marinate for 15 minutes.
3. While the seafood is marinating, prepare the tahini sauce by whisking together tahini, water, lemon juice, and minced garlic in a small bowl until smooth. Set aside.
4. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated seafood in a single layer. Cook for 4-5 minutes, turning halfway through until the seafood is opaque and cooked through.

6. Drizzle the tahini sauce over the seafood and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley.
7. Garnish with cilantro and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
