Ingredients

- 250g fish (i used snapper)

Method

1. Start by cutting your fish into roughly 2cm cubes, season with salt, pepper, olive oil and the juice of the lime. Set aside and leave to marinate for 20 minutes.
2. In a heavy pot over a medium high heat, seal the fish to get some colour on the outside without cooking all the way through.
3. Remove the fish from the pan and set to one side.
4. Now add your onion and carrot, season and sweat this down for 5 minutes.
5. Add your spices and then the tinned tomatoes.
6. Cook this for 5 minutes then add the chicken stock and reduce this by half.
7. Now add the coconut milk and stir. Once it comes back up to a simmer, add the prawns and the fish. Cook this for a further 5 minutes or until the prawns are cooked through.
8. Serve with some coriander and optional lime zest.
9. Enjoy!
