THAI CURRIED SHRIMP AND SCALLOPS
I didn't have any green or red curry paste as a base, so I had to improvise and came up with this, it might have just been a one-hit-wonder, as I haven't made this dish again and am drawing the spices from memory, so just sample the paste and if it tastes about right, go with it!

Steps:
- Using a food processor, puree the ginger and garlic.
- Add in the rest of the sauce ingredients to form a relatively thick paste.
- It's best to refrigerate the paste for a few hours to let the flavors inter-mingle, but if you have to use it right away, than do so.
- Heat the oil over high heat, and add the scallops and shrimp when the pan (or wok) is uniformly hot.
- At the same time, boil some water for the noodles (or you can serve with rice if you want).
- Stir the shrimp and scallops frequently for about 2 minutes, until slightly browned.
- Add in the paste, and reduce heat slightly, coating the scallops and shrimp thoroughly.
- After about 90 seconds, slowly stir in a can of coconut milk.
- Reduce heat and simmer for a few minutes to reduce the liquid.
- Serve over noodles or rice.

Tips:
- Choose fresh, high-quality seafood: Fresh shrimp and scallops have a firm texture and a slightly sweet smell. Avoid any seafood that has a slimy texture or a strong fishy odor.
- Properly clean and devein the shrimp: Deveining the shrimp removes the digestive tract, which can be gritty and unpleasant to eat. To devein the shrimp, use a sharp knife to make a shallow cut along the back of the shrimp, then use your fingers to pull out the digestive tract.
- Use a flavorful marinade: Marinating the shrimp and scallops in a mixture of spices, herbs, and oil helps to enhance their flavor and make them more tender. Some popular marinade ingredients include garlic, ginger, lemon juice, soy sauce, and chili powder.
- Cook the seafood over high heat: Cooking the shrimp and scallops over high heat helps to sear them and prevent them from becoming tough. Be careful not to overcook the seafood, as it can quickly become rubbery.
- Serve the curry immediately: Shrimp and scallop curry is a dish that is best served immediately after it is cooked. This is because the seafood is at its best when it is fresh and hot.
Conclusion:
Shrimp and scallop curry is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed with various sides. Whether served over rice, noodles, or vegetables, this curry is sure to please everyone at the table. With its rich, flavorful sauce and tender seafood, shrimp and scallop curry is a dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a casual weeknight meal.
