Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 c onion, finely chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, finely grated
- 2 tbsp red curry paste (Add up to 2 tablespoon more if you want this really spicy) I use Thai Kitchen brand curry paste.
- 800 mls coconut milk (2 cans) I use Thai Kitchen regular coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon lime juice (or to taste)
- 1 tablespoon sugar (or to taste)
- 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste) For authentic flavor, use fish sauce instead of salt.
- 8 c Frozen Swimming Scallops in shell
- ½ c Each: Basil and Cilantro
Instructions
- In a large pot or saucepan with lid, heat oil on medium heat. Add and saute onion, garlic and ginger until soft and fragrant.
- Add curry paste, stir and cook 2-3 more minutes, then add coconut milk and stir. Simmer on low for 15 minutes.
- Add rinsed frozen scallops. Stir and put lid on. Cook 5 minutes (until most scallops have opened).
- Sprinkle basil and cilantro over top and serve immediately with rice or naan bread.

Notes
- Rinsing the scallops - It is important to rinse the sea water glaze off the scallops before adding them in so they don't water down your sauce and make it too salty. A quick rinse under cold running water right before adding is all they need, you don't want them to thaw all the way through.
