Instructions
- In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Sweat the peppers and onion in the olive oil until they become tender, about 5 to 7 minutes. Add the curry paste, fish stock, and coconut milk to the pan, reduce the heat to a simmer, and cook for approximately 20 minutes. Add the lobster meat to the pan and simmer for another 20 minutes, letting the mixture reduce.
- Add the milk, butter, pineapple chunks, salt and sugar to the pan and stir with a wooden spoon to combine. Finally, add the scallions and cilantro to the pan and simmer for 2 more minutes. Serve on a bed of jasmine rice and garnish with chopped cilantro and toasted coconut.
- Bring just enough water to cover the rice to a boil in a medium sized pot over high heat. Add the rice to the pot, lower the heat to medium-low, and cover with a lid. Steam the rice until it is cooked through yet still firm, about 15 minutes. Drain off the excess water, and season with salt, pepper, sugar and coconut, to taste.
