THAI CURRIED SHRIMP AND SCALLOPS



Thai Curried Shrimp and Scallops image

I didn't have any green or red curry paste as a base, so I had to improvise and came up with this, it might have just been a one-hit-wonder, as I haven't made this dish again and am drawing the spices from memory, so just sample the paste and if it tastes about right, go with it!

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

gingerroot, peeled (about 2-3-inch)
2 teaspoons garlic (minced from a jar is fine)
2 teaspoons honey
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 1/2 teaspoons turmeric
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons desiccated sweetened coconut
3 teaspoons hot madras curry (McCormicks)
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons fish sauce
3 teaspoons lime juice
2 tablespoons vegetable oil (or peanut oil)
1 lb shrimp
1 lb scallops
1 (14 ounce) can coconut milk
150 g rice or 150 g bean noodles

Steps:

  • Using a food processor, puree the ginger and garlic.
  • Add in the rest of the sauce ingredients to form a relatively thick paste.
  • It's best to refrigerate the paste for a few hours to let the flavors inter-mingle, but if you have to use it right away, than do so.
  • Heat the oil over high heat, and add the scallops and shrimp when the pan (or wok) is uniformly hot.
  • At the same time, boil some water for the noodles (or you can serve with rice if you want).
  • Stir the shrimp and scallops frequently for about 2 minutes, until slightly browned.
  • Add in the paste, and reduce heat slightly, coating the scallops and shrimp thoroughly.
  • After about 90 seconds, slowly stir in a can of coconut milk.
  • Reduce heat and simmer for a few minutes to reduce the liquid.
  • Serve over noodles or rice.
