Cooking Steps
-
In a small pot, combine rice, 1¼ cups water (2¼ cups for 4 servings), and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low. Cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes.
-
Keep covered off heat until ready to use in Step 6.
-
While rice cooks, wash and dry produce.
-
Halve, peel, and thinly slice shallot. Halve, peel, and cut onion into ¼-inch-thick wedges. Halve, core, and cut bell pepper into ¼-inch strips. Thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Zest and quarter limes. Roughly chop cilantro.
-
Using kitchen shears, cut along underside of each lobster* shell, leaving meat intact and stopping at tail; pull sides of shell apart to expose meat (do not remove meat from shell).
-
Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large, preferably nonstick, pan over medium-low heat. Add shallot and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, 4-5 minutes. Turn off heat; transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. Season immediately with salt. Wipe out pan. TIP: Pull the shallot a little earlier than you think; it burns easily!
-
Heat a large drizzle of oil in same pan over medium-high heat. Add tomatoes, onion, bell pepper, scallion whites, and a big pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until veggies are softened, 5 minutes.
-
Stir in half the curry powder (all for 4 servings); cook, stirring constantly, 30-60 seconds more.
-
While veggies cook, thoroughly shake coconut milk in container before opening. In a small bowl, combine coconut milk, chili sauce, stock concentrate, juice from two lime wedges, 1 TBSP water, and 1 tsp sugar (juice from four lime wedges, 2 TBSP water, and 2 tsp sugar for 4).
-
Stir coconut milk mixture into pan with veggies. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium low. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until sauce has thickened, 4-6 minutes.
-
Add 2 TBSP butter (4 TBSP for 4 servings); stir until butter has melted and curry is well combined. Taste and season with salt and more lime juice if desired. Turn off heat.
-
Add lobster tails, cut sides down, to pan with curry. Cover pan and cook over medium heat until lobster is slightly opaque and cooked through, 2-4 minutes.
-
Fluff rice with a fork; stir in lime zest, garlic-ginger scallion paste, and half the cilantro. Season with salt and pepper. TIP: For an extra-rich experience, stir in 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4).
- Using a chef’s knife, halve lobster tails lengthwise. TIP: If you don’t have a chef’s knife, use a large, sharp knife.
- Divide rice between shallow bowls and top with coconut curry, lobster tails, fried shallot, scallion greens, and remaining cilantro. Serve with remaining lime wedges on the side.
