Description

This Pad Po Taek is a quintessential Thai stir-fry that celebrates the natural sweetness of fresh seafood. The dish combines shrimp, scallops, and firm white fish with a fragrant base of lemongrass, green curry paste, and coconut milk. The result is a tender, savory, and slightly spicy meal that is ready in minutes. It pairs perfectly with steamed jasmine rice or crusty bread to soak up the flavorful sauce. Ideal for a quick weeknight dinner or an impressive yet simple weeknight treat, this recipe brings the bustling energy of a Thai street stall to your kitchen.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Heat the oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat until shimmering.
  2. Add the shrimp, scallops, and sliced fish fillets to the hot pan.
  3. Sauté the seafood for about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until just turning opaque.
  4. Add the green curry paste, coconut milk, fish sauce, sugar, bamboo shoots, lemongrass pieces, green bell pepper, and mussels.
  5. Gently combine all ingredients, ensuring the seafood is coated in the sauce.
  6. Cover the pan and cook for 3 minutes until the mussels have opened and the fish is cooked through.
  7. Stir in the sweet basil leaves and toss gently until wilted.
  8. Immediately remove from heat and transfer to a serving plate.
