Add a little more oil to the pan if needed and heat, once the oil is hot add all the

shellfish and place on a tightly fitting lid.

Vigorously shake the pan a couple of times whilst the shellfish is cooking, then after a couple of minute add the creamed coconut and the vegetables including the samphire.

Cook for a further 2-3 minutes, tossing the pan occasionally and until the

shellfish have fully opened. Season with salt and pepper.

Divide the seafood between four bowls, pour over any cooking juices and the

sprinkle over the crushed prawn crackers and finely sliced kaffir lime leaves and
