Seafood Curry Recipes

Steps:

• For the curry sauce, whizz the onion and ginger together to a purée. Heat the oil in a large pan until smoking. Add the garam marsala and sizzle for 30 secs, then add the onion and ginger purée, reduce the heat and slowly cook for 5 mins. Add the remaining spices, fry for 1 min, stir in the chilli and fry for another min, then add the tomatoes and a good pinch of salt and grind of pepper, and stir well. You can do this way in advance, then just throw the curry together on the night - the sauce will freeze or keep in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• To make the curry, melt a third of the ghee in a large pan. Cook the white fish for 2-3 mins until lightly browned, then set aside on a plate. Repeat this process with the salmon and prawns, adding another third of ghee each time. For the mussels, heat a medium-sized saucepan on a high heat. Add the mussels with 2 tbsp of water, cover tightly with a lid, and steam for 3-4 mins, shaking the pan every so often. Drain and set aside with the other seafood.
• Bring the sauce to the boil, stir the fish and mussels in gently, bring to the boil again, then remove from the heat and leave for 3-4 mins - the fish will finish cooking in the heat from the sauce. Add the coriander leaves and serve with Spiced rice and Carrot & cumin salad (see 'Goes well with' on the right of this page).

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Saute onion, ginger, and garlic in hot oil until onion starts to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir coconut milk, lime juice, curry paste, and brown sugar into onion mixture, bring to a simmer and cook until slightly reduced, about 5 minutes.
• Stir shrimp, scallops, asparagus, cilantro, and salt into onion mixture; cook until shrimp and scallops are no longer transparent in the center, about 5 minutes.

Steps:

• In a large skillet, saute onion and curry in butter until tender. Stir in flour until blended; gradually add broth and milk. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened., Reduce heat; add the shrimp, sugar, salt and ginger. Cook and stir over medium heat until shrimp turn pink. Remove from the heat; stir in lemon juice. Serve with rice.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a heavy-based saucepan over medium heat.
• Add garlic, shallots and carrot and cook, stirring, for 1-2 minutes or until soft.
• Add lemongrass, chillies and curry powder and cook for 3 minutes or until fragrant.
• Add coconut milk, 1 cup water and fish sauce to the pan and bring to a simmer.
• Add fish and simmer gently, partially covered, for 3 minutes.
• Stir in prawns and peas and simmer gently, partially covered, for 2 minutes or until seafood is tender.
• Serve scattered with basil leaves, with steamed rice and lime wedges.

Steps:

• Fry mixed seafood until 90% cooked.
• Meanwhile, fry shrimps in another saucepan until 90% cooked.
• Season all seafood with salt.
• Mince and mash the ginger.
• Warm curry paste and pour in coconut milk.
• Cook sauce with seafood, shrimp.
• Add all seasoning and spices and simmer for 5 minutes.
• Use the remaining coconut milk in the can to cook with rice or make dessert.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large pan, add onion, garlic and ginger, cook until onion softens.
• Stir in spices, mustard seeds, cinnamon stick and sambal oelek, stir until fragrant.
• Add coconut cream, stir until well combined.
• NOTE: The kara brand is quite a thick coconut cream, if my sauce thickens up to much I add a little extra light cream or milk. I haven't mentioned, adding cornflour to thicken for this reason, but I also know some brands can be quite watery, so you may want to thicken some more, if this is the case.
• Add sugar and juice, stir until mixed.
• Add all the seafood and cook covered about 5-10 Min's or until seafood is cooked through. Cooking times will vary according to what seafood you choose to use in this, so I can't give you an exact time.
• I served mine over sweet potato mash, but it is also good over rice as well.
