Coconut Shrimp, Scallops and Fish Soup
I’m surprised by the simplicity and taste of this dish. Its taste reminds of Laksa. A lot has been taken away and nothing is original anymore but it is still tasty and satsifying. I don’t have much to say
Coconut Shrimp, Scallops, and Fish Soup
Serves 4
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
4 medium carrots, peeled, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced
1 can (13.5 ounces) coconut milk
1 tablespoon cornstarch
4 ounces angel hair pasta
1 pounds large shrimp, peeled, deveined, and tails remove
6-8 bay scallops
4 ounces white fish fillet
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
coarse salt
4 scallions, thinly sliced
Heat oil in a large (3-quart) saucepan over medium-low heat. Add ginger, garlic, and pepper flakes; cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add carrots, coconut milk, and 3 cups water. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and 2 tablespoons water until smooth; add to pot. Bring to boil.
Break past in half; add to pot. Return to a boil, reduce heat to medium, and simmer until pasta is al dente and carrots are just tender, 3 to 4 minutes.
Add shrimp, scallops, and fish; stir until opaque about 3 minutes. Remove pot from heat, and stir in lime juice; season with salt. Ladle into serving bowls, and garnish with scallions.

P.S. Last minute addition as I just found out that I could submit this post for Presto Pasta Nights over at Ruth’s blog: Once Upon A Feast. It’s always fun when I don’t have to think to be able to participate in food blog event
