When I waffle my shrimp, I always start with a cleaner counter space; as the prep is all done beforehand, and my particular waffle maker is not very large, I need some room to have all my skewers ...

Thread one shrimp and one scallop onto small, sturdy skewers about 9cm (3½in) long - the shrimp should be pierced through the top and again near the tail, so they're curled into a "C" shape.

Add the salmon, stir, then leave to marinate for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, soak 4 wooden barbecue skewers in cold water. To make the raita, gently squeeze the cucumber to remove any excess water.
