1 1/2 teaspoons	7.5ml	Red curry paste - (to 2)
1/8 teaspoon	0.6ml	Sugar substitute
1 1/4 lbs	567g / 20oz	Sea scallops - cut 1/3"-thick coins
2 tablespoons	30ml	Thai fish sauce
2		Zucchini - (4 oz ea) - sliced thin sticks,
		Abt 3" long
1		Red bell pepper - cored, seeded,

1		Baby spinach - (10 oz) - any larger stems
		Discarded, washed and dried
2 cups	320g / 11oz	Cooked hot basmati rice
3 tablespoons	45ml	Chopped fresh coriander or Thai basil

Recipe Instructions

Pour 1/3 cup of the coconut milk into a large nonstick skillet and cook over moderate heat stirring for 2 to 3 minutes until it begins to thicken slightly. Add the red curry paste and sugar substitute; stir to combine.

Add the scallops and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add the remaining coconut milk, the fish sauce, the zucchini, and the red pepper. Cook, stirring, for a few minutes until the vegetables are crisp-cooked and the scallops are opaque throughout. (If the scallops are small, remove them before adding the vegetables so they do not overcook. Return them just before serving). Add the spinach and continue to cook until it wilts. Keep warm.

Spoon 1/4 of the hot rice into a 1/2-cup mold, pressing down slightly. Unmold into a heated shallow soup plate or onto a dinner plate. Spoon 1/4 of the curried scallop mixture over the rice and sprinkle with some of the coriander. Repeat with the remaining servings. Add a lime slice for garnish (if using).

This recipe yields 4 servings.
