Instructions

Season the fish portions with Lemon & Black Pepper Seasoning and the prawns with Chilli & Garlic Seasoning. Place in a bowl and cover with lime juice and zest. Marinate only for 20 - 30 minutes at room temperature.

Sauté the onion in a little olive oil, halfway through add the chilli, red pepper strips and garlic. Cook while stirring over medium heat for ± 2 minutes. Add the whole pack of Roasted Red Pepper Pesto and stir it in.

Dissolve the Fish Stock Concentrate in the boiling water, add to the vegetables together with the coconut milk. Simmer without a lid for 5 - 10 minutes.

Add the pre-marinated fish and prawns, DO NOT add the lime juice marinade.

Simmer covered for 5 - 7 minutes only, just to cook the fish lightly.
