• 1 cup Water
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Oil (vegetable or coconut)
• 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
• 2 tablespoons Thai red curry paste
• 1.5 cups Coconut milk (for curry)
• 1 tablespoon Fish sauce
• 1 teaspoon Brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Lime juice
• 0.5 pound Shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 0.5 pound Scallops
• 0.5 pound White fish (e.g., cod or snapper), cut into bite-sized chunks
• 1 medium Red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1 cup Snow peas, trimmed
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rinsed rice, 1 cup coconut milk, 1 cup water, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-18 minutes until the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.

Step 2

While the rice cooks, heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the chopped yellow onion and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the Thai red curry paste and stir well, cooking for 1-2 minutes to release its aroma.

Step 5

Pour in 1.5 cups of coconut milk, fish sauce, and brown sugar. Stir to combine and let the mixture come to a gentle simmer.

Step 6

Add the shrimp, scallops, and white fish to the curry sauce. Simmer for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the seafood is just cooked and opaque.

Step 7

Stir in the red bell pepper slices and snow peas. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.

Step 8

Turn off the heat and stir in the lime juice. Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more fish sauce or lime juice as needed.

Step 9

To serve, spoon the coconut jasmine rice onto plates and top with the seafood curry. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side.
