Instructions

7 steps

  1. Prepare the Ingredients

    Chop the onion, mince the garlic and ginger, and slice the bell peppers.

    Have all ingredients ready before starting to cook for easier preparation.
  2. Sauté Aromatics

    In a large pot, heat coconut oil over medium heat. Add onions, garlic, and ginger, sauté until fragrant.

    Do not let the garlic burn to avoid bitterness.
  3. Add Curry Paste

    Stir in the red curry paste and cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing the flavors to develop.

    Adjust the amount of curry paste based on your spice preference.
  4. Incorporate Liquids

    Use full-fat coconut milk for a creamier texture.
  5. Add Seafood and Vegetables

    Add the mixed seafood, bell peppers, and spinach. Cook until seafood is opaque and vegetables are tender.

    Do not overcook the seafood to maintain its tenderness.
  6. Finish the Curry

    Stir in lime juice and brown sugar, and simmer for an additional 2 minutes.

    Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
  7. Serve

    Serve the seafood curry over jasmine rice and garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.

    Enjoy with lime wedges for an extra zing!
