Thai Style Seafood Linguini
- 1 x 14 oz can of coconut milk
- 2 to 5 tbs red curry paste - or to taste.
- 2 - 3 lime leaves (optional)
- 2 tablespoons fish sauce
- 1 tsp raw sugar

- Salt to taste.
- 1/2 cup (approximate) half & half.

Stir in the rest of the coconut milk, the fish sauce, the sugar and the lime leaves. After it has come to a boil, reduce heat and put in the seafood and poach till done - about 5 to 8 minutes depending on the size of the seafood.
