Seafood and Vegetable Green Curry

Seafood and Vegetable Green Curry. This is a Thai inspired dish, some of the ingredients are used in Thai cooking however I tried to cook it in my own style. The marinara mixed seafood that I used for this dish may not be available on some location but any available seafood or similar vegetables may be use.

For better presentation seafood can be cooked with shell on. The green curry paste is always available in the Asian section of most supermarkets. Kaffir lime leaves is sometime difficult to find, the best alternative is to use the rind of lime.

For the young eggplant, use the regular Asian eggplant as an alternative. Here is the recipe of my version of Seafood and Vegetable Green Curry, try it.

4-5 pieces young eggplant, quartered
