step 1
Bring a pan of salted water to the boil and blanche the langoustines (20) for 30 seconds. Place in a bowl of iced water and then remove the flesh from the tails and set aside. Reserve the heads and claws.
step 2
In a pan, toast the cumin (1 tbsp) and coriander seeds (2 tbsp) over a medium low heat then transfer to a food processor. Add the tender part of the lemongrass (4 stalks) and lime zest (2). Give a quick blitz then add the green chillies (2), green pepper (1), garlic (4 cloves), shallots (2) and black peppercorns (2 tbsp). Blend well and season with salt.
step 3
With a meat tenderiser or rolling pin, crush the langoustine heads and claws. Toast them in a saucepan with some olive oil and trimmings from the lemongrass and shallots. Add the homemade paste, coconut milk (100 ml) and fish stock (300 ml). Bring to the boil and simmer for about 10 minutes. Transfer into a blender, blitz and then pass through a sieve back into the pan.
step 4
Add the lime leaves (4) and basil (1/2 bunch) to the sauce and leave to infuse off the heat.
step 5
Meanwhile, soak the jasmine rice (200 g) in cold water for 30 minutes.
step 6
Bring a pan of salted water to the boil and blanch the asparagus spear (150 g), peas (60 g), broad beans (60 g) and samphire (40 g) for 1 minute. Keep them vibrant and crisp by dropping them in ice-cold water after blanching. Remove the broad beans from their thick skins.
step 7
Use the same pan to cook the potatoes (100 g) for 7 minutes. Set all the vegetables to one side.
step 8
Drain the jasmine rice then cook in salted boiling water for 7 minutes. Drain well and add a couple of tablespoons of olive oil. Cover and set aside.
step 9
In a pan on a medium-high heat, stir-fry all the vegetables and season with salt and pepper if necessary. At the same time, in a different pan, pan-fry the scallops (20) and langoustines until tender and cooked through, turning half way.
step 10
Use a ladle or cup to scoop out the rice into a bowl. In a separate dish, arrange the vegetables, add the scallops and langoustines and pour over the warm green curry sauce.
