Coconut Lobster & Prawn Kari is a creamy and mildly spicy seafood curry dish with lobster, prawns, and snow peas in coconut broth. It originates from the coastal regions of India and is now popular worldwide. The sweetness of the lobster and the freshness of the snow peas complement the richness of the coconut milk and the spiciness of the curry powder. This dish is perfect for special occasions and gatherings or can be served as a comforting meal on a cold day.

Instructions

1.Cook the lobster - Preheat a large poaching pot with enough water to cover the lobster. Add the live lobster and cook for about 7-8 minutes or until the shell turns bright red. Remove the lobster and let cool. Once cool, cut the meat from the tail, claws, and legs. Reserve the shells for the broth.
2.Prepare the prawns - Squeeze the juice from the limes over the prawns and let sit for 5 minutes. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and ginger and sauté until soft and fragrant. Add the cayenne pepper and Madras curry powder and stir until well combined. Add the prawns and cook for about 5 minutes or until the prawns are pink and cooked through.
3.Add the coconut milk and reserved lobster shells to the skillet. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 12-15 minutes or until the broth has reduced slightly. Add the shredded carrot and salt and stir. Add the lobster meat and snow peas and stir until well combined. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes or until the snow peas are just tender.
4.Garnish the kari with fresh sweet basil and serve hot over rice.
