  • 1 Yellow Onion Sliced Thinly
  • 2 Serrano Peppers Seeded and Diced
  • 4 Cloves of Garlic Minced
  • 1 Fresh Ginger 1 inch Grated or chopped into small pieces.

Seafood

  • 1 tsp Cumin
  • 1 tbsp Coriander
  • 1 tsp Cuban Style Citrus Garlic Seasoning Trader Joes
  • 2 tbsp Thai Red Curry Paste May use more or less depending on how much flavor and spice you want.
  • Himalayan Pink Salt Grinder
  • Ground Black Pepper

Condiments

  • 2 cans Coconut Milk Unsweetened

Oil

  • Olive Oil

Instructions
 

Shrimp Preparation

  • Place cleaned Shrimp into a mixing bowl adding 1 tablespoon Garlic Herb Seasoning, Cuban Style Citrus Garlic and a generous amount of Himalayan Salt and Pepper. Using a large spoon, stir being sure to incorporate seasonings coating all the Shrimp and set aside.

Cooking

  • Heat a large Skillet on medium high and drizzle a generous amount of Olive Oil in the pan.
  • Add Garlic and begin sautéing until becomes fragrant being sure not to burn.
  • Add sliced Red and Green Peppers, Onions, Serrano Peppers, Garlic, Ginger and remaining Garlic Herb Seasoning, Cumin, Coriander and a pinch of Salt & Pepper. Begin sautéing vegetables stirring periodically until they begin to soften.
  • At this point you will add the Red Curry and stir into vegetables to incorporate flavors.
  • Gently pour both cans of Coconut Milk into Skillet and continue stirring. Cover with lid and let it simmer until Sauce begins to thicken and flavors blend together, about 7-10 minutes. Taste to see if additional seasoning needed. If you are looking for a thick gravy like texture, you may make a slurry of 1:1 ration of Cornstarch and Water and add directly into sauce.
  • Once sauce begins to thicken, add your Shrimp and stir into sauce. Place your Lobster Tails right over the top pushing into sauce being sure to ladle the Curry Sauce right over them. Cover again with lid and let it continue to simmer for additional 5-7 minutes or until both Shrimp and Lobster Tails are fully cooked. Be sure to keep ladling the sauce over the Lobster Tails as it will cook them and flavor it as well.
  • Serve over White Rice and garnish with Green Scallions for a beautiful presentation.
  • Enjoy!!!
