Ingredients
- 50 ml Vegetable oil

- 10 Curry Leaves Fresh if you can get them. I used dried.
- 200 g Clams Cleaned
- 200 g Mussels Cleaned
- 1 Kg Fish of your choice. I used salmon fillets
- 12 Large prawns
- 1 tsp Salt
- 12 Cherry tomatoes Quartered
- 3 tbsp Freshly squeezed lime juice
To serve
- 150 g Beansprouts
- 1 handful Mint leaves

Instructions

I bought my clams and mussels frozen, cleaned and pre-cooked from my local Chinese superstore. If you buy fresh ones you'll need to clean them, and cook them before adding them to the curry.
Get the Curry Going
-
Heat the oil in a deep wok, add the red curry paste and paprika, stir and cooked over a high heat for a few minutes. Add 100g of the coconut milk, stir and reduce heat to low for 5 minutes. Add the remaining coconut milk, the lime leaves and the curry leaves and bring back to the boil. Reduce the heat, and simmer for 10 minutes.

Add the fish
-
Add the fish and prawns to the curry mix along with the salt and tomatoes. Let the fish cook for about 5 minutes, then add the cockles and mussels. Once it's simmering again, take it off the heat, stir well and add the lime juice.
To serve
-
Put the beansprouts and mint leaves into the base of individual bowls and pour over the curry. The beansprouts will cook in the heat of the curry and all the flavour of the mint will be released.
