Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 g spaghetti or linguine pasta
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 small yellow onion, diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
- 2 tbsp red curry paste
- 400 ml coconut milk
- 1 tbsp fish sauce
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 200 g shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 150 g scallops
- 200 g mussels, cleaned
- 150 g cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp ground black pepper
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Sauté the diced onion until softened and translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the red curry paste and cook for another 1-2 minutes to release its aromas.
Pour in the coconut milk and stir well until the curry paste is fully incorporated. Simmer for 3-4 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Add the fish sauce and lime juice, stirring to combine. Adjust seasoning with salt and ground black pepper.
Gently add the shrimp, scallops, and mussels to the skillet. Cover the pan with a lid and allow the seafood to cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the mussels open and the shrimp and scallops are opaque. Discard any mussels that do not open.
Add the halved cherry tomatoes and simmer for another 2 minutes. Stir in the chopped cilantro and remove from heat.
Toss the cooked pasta with the curry seafood sauce until evenly coated.
Serve immediately, garnished with extra cilantro if desired, and enjoy the delicious fusion of flavors!
