Method
Slice the shallots thinly, mince the garlic, finely chop the bird's eye chillies, and pick the mint and coriander leaves.
Whisk together the lime juice, fish sauce, palm sugar, garlic and chillies in a large bowl until the sugar has dissolved.
Bring a saucepan of water to the boil and blanch the squid for 1 minute until curled and opaque, then lift out with a slotted spoon.
Add the prawns to the same water and simmer for 3 minutes until pink, opaque and a meat thermometer reads at least 63°C, then lift out.
Add the mussels to the same water, cover, and cook for 3 minutes until the shells have opened, then drain — discard any that remain closed.
Add the squid, prawns, mussels, shallots and spring onions to the dressing and toss gently to combine.
Scatter over the mint and coriander and serve immediately.
