Preparation

Allow the shellfish mix to thaw in the refrigerator overnight.
Lightly squeeze the lemongrass to release the aromas. Tear the kaffir lime leaves from the middle outwards to intensify the aroma. Deseed the chilli peppers and chop finely. Cut the galangal into thin slices. Finely chop the onion and garlic.
In a large saucepan, heat the coconut milk over medium heat. Add the lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, chilies, galangal, onion and garlic and simmer for about 8 minutes to allow the flavors to develop.
Add the HONEST CATCH shellfish mix to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5-7 minutes.
Season with fish sauce, lime juice, salt and sugar.
Garnish with fresh coriander and serve hot.

Tip: The typical Thai dish Tom Kha Gai is traditionally prepared with chicken. Simply replace the chicken with the HONEST CATCH shellfish mix for an equally exotic and ingenious variation. The combination of coconut milk and Thai spices gives the clams an incomparable aroma. This recipe also works very well with organic black tiger prawns easy peel.
