CURRY LOBSTER

Steps:

• Add the oil to a large skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in the curry powder with a wooden spoon until toasted and fragrant, 3 to 5 minutes.
• While stirring, gradually add the onions. Cook for about 2 minutes, and then add the garlic. Cook until translucent, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the lobster and 2 cups water. Stir to combine the ingredients, then cover the pan and cook for 2 minutes. Remove the lid and add a pinch more curry powder if needed to deepen the color.
• Remove the cover and add the bell peppers, scallions and thyme. Stir to incorporate all the ingredients and let cook at a low simmer, uncovered, for 3 to 4 minutes. Add the Scotch bonnet, 2 pinches of salt and 1 pinch of black pepper. Add the butter and stir to melt, then remove from the heat and serve.

SPICY COCONUT SHRIMP WITH SPICY MANGO BASIL SALSA AND LIME JASMINE RICE

Steps:

• For the salsa: Combine all ingredients together in a mixing bowl. Make up to a day in advance. Keep covered in the refrigerator.
• For the shrimp: In a mixing bowl, combine jalapenos, garlic, ginger, brown sugar, soy sauce, lime zest, coconut milk, basil, vegetable oil, salt and pepper. Add the shrimp and marinate for at least 30 minutes and up to 4 hours, refridgerated.
• Heat a nonstick skillet over high heat. Use tongs or a fork to remove the shrimp from the marinade and place in an even layer in the pan, reserving the marinade.
• Cook the shrimp until well browned on each side, turning once, about 3 to 4 minutes total. Transfer cooked shrimp to a serving plate.
• Add reserved marinade to pan, bring to a boil and cook until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
• Pour over the cooked shrimp and serve with Lime Jasmine Rice and Mango Salsa.
• Put the rice, coconut milk, water, and salt in a saucepan and bring to a simmer. Cover and gently simmer until liquid is absorbed, about 12 to 15 minutes. Fluff with a fork and stir in the lime zest. Serve immediately.
