Sautéed Shrimp and Squid with Lemon Soy Sauce

Prepare the lemon slices for the sauce by putting sugar and water in a small saucepan; bring to a boil, then reduce heat. Add 6 lemon slices. After 10 seconds turn the slices over, turn off heat, set aside and allow lemons to steep and cool for at least 10 minutes. Then mince up the lemons and set aside until just before serving, when they will be added to complete the sauce.

To make sauce, mix whole grain mustard, 1 T + 1 t soy sauce and 4 T sake in a small milk pan. Bring to a boil and remove from heat; set aside.

Slice shrimp into two pieces each, using the sogi-giri cutting technique (long, thin diagonal cuts). Sprinkle 1 t sake over the shrimp and set aside.

String the snow peas; parboil in salted water, then plunge into cold water and drain.

In a frying pan, heat 1 T olive oil and sauté mushrooms over high heat. Add 1/2 t lemon juice and the celery slices; sauté until slightly softened. Remove from frying pan.
