Method
Make dipping sauce by whisking together lime juice, lime zest, fish sauce and sugar until sugar dissolves. Add lemongrass, garlic, coriander, mint and chilli and stir well. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Combine oil, garlic, dill and lemon zest and juice in a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Brush a little over crayfish, prawns and scallops.
Pat outside of squid tubes dry with paper towel. Cut each tube lengthways on one side and open out so that it is flat with inside surface facing up. Use a sharp knife to score diagonal cuts in the squid tubes, then slice into large triangular shaped pieces. Add squid to the bowl of olive oil mixture and set aside to marinate for 5 minutes.
Heat barbecue to medium high heat.
Add prawns and lobster, flesh side down. Cook prawns for 3-4 minutes. Cook crayfish for 1-2 minutes, then turn and cook shell side for 1-2 minutes. Add squid and cook squid for 2-3 minutes per side. Add scallops and cook for 1-2 minutes.
Transfer all seafood to a platter with the dipping sauce and serve garnished with parsley and lemon wedges.
