Thai Red Lobster Curry With Chinese Black Rice image

I saw this recipe on "united states of reza" on uktv food on 8/3/06. this recipe was prepared by female chef, allyson thurber, who works in the "lobster" restaurant on santa monica beach in l.a. now let me tell you, it looked divine when she made this dish, but ultimately, it tasted the way it looked! check it out & tell me what you think!... also, if you could, take a picture of the dish once finished, as it would be interesting to see if it differed at all from the original!

  • next, prepare the thai red curry sauce. in a large, non-stick saucepan, heat up a little olive oil until hot. add the thai red curry paste to the pan & stir. add the tins of coconut milk & the fish sauce & stir well. bring the sauce to the boil & then reduce the heat. simmer uncovered for 15-20 minutes approx', or until the sauce has reduced & thickened.
  • whilst the sauce is thickening, in a large non-stick frying pan, saute off the shitaki mushrooms, roasted garlic cloves, diced red pepper, baby carrots, halved broccoli florets & the peas in a little olive oil, for 3 minutes approx'.

This recipe was delicious, but it was also very expensive. The lobster is the main ingredient and it can be quite pricey. If you're looking for a more budget-friendly option, you could try using shrimp or chicken instead.

This recipe was bland and boring. The curry had no flavor and the lobster was tasteless. I wouldn't recommend this recipe to anyone.

This recipe was too complicated for me. There were too many steps and ingredients. I ended up giving up and ordering takeout.

The recipe was missing some important ingredients. It didn't list the amount of coconut milk or fish sauce that I needed. I had to guess and it didn't turn out very well.

I wasn't a big fan of this recipe. The curry was too spicy for me and the lobster was overcooked. I also didn't like the texture of the black rice. It was too chewy for my taste.
