Clean the seafood’s of your choice. Wash and drain. There are no limits on the kinds of seafood that can be used in this recipe; you have the last say.
Peel the garlic and onion, then chop. Slice the string beans, eggplant, and pechay. Set aside.

Cooking:
Steam the crabs for 3 to 5 minutes. If using alimasag or alimango, cut in half if both are large.
Boil the tahong (mussels) in water until the shells are just opened, discard the half shell, and reserve stock.
In a large wok or pot, heat 3 to 4 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Pan-fry the steamed crabs for about 2 minutes per side over medium heat. Take the crabs out of the heat.
Using the remaining oil, pan-fry the squid for 2 minutes per side in the same wok or pot. Take them out of the heat and slice them.
Tips: Don't overcook the squid because it will become tough.In the same wok or pot, pan-fry the shrimp for 2 minutes per side then take them out of the heat.
Using the same wok or pot, heat about 3 tablespoons of oil. If the remaining oil is not enough, add more as needed.
Sauté the garlic and onion until the garlic is aromatic and the onion is soft. Add the shrimp paste. Sauté for 1 minute. Add crab paste (Taba ng Talangka) and saute for a minute. Then pour in the coconut milk. Let it boil.
Add the peanut butter. Add the reserve stock from boiled tahong (mussels). Then stir and cook until it is completely diluted.

Add a small amount of sugar. The sugar will help balance the taste. Sugar is optional. Only add if desired.
