Red Coconut Curry with Seafood and Mixed Vegetables

In a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil. Season the cod and shrimp with salt and pepper and cook over moderately high heat until browned and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer the seafood to 4 bowls and keep warm.

Add the sugar to the skillet and cook over moderate heat, stirring frequently, until it starts to melt, about 1 minute. Add the curry paste and cook, stirring, until fragrant and bright red, about 1 minute. Add the green beans, carrot, 2 cups of the chicken broth and the coconut milk and bring to a simmer. Add the mussels and cook over moderately high heat until they open, 1 to 2 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer the mussels to the bowls with the cod and shrimp. Discard any mussels that do not open.

In a small bowl, whisk the arrowroot with the remaining 1 cup of chicken broth, add to the skillet and bring to a simmer over moderately high heat. Add the peas and cook until heated through, about 3 minutes. Season the sauce with salt and pepper and stir in the cilantro. Pour the sauce and vegetables into the bowls and serve with lime wedges and sliced jalapeños.
