This scone recipe was very slightly modified from another one by Allrecipes user “Friendlyfood,” who claims that it was based on a dish prepared at the Savoy Hotel in London. I must admit that I am really impressed. It was wonderful and extremely light, delicate, and moist.

Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons peanut oil
- 1 large onion, halved and sliced lengthwise
- 1 large red bell pepper, seeded and sliced lengthwise
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh ginger
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon red chile paste, or more to taste
- 1 (14 ounce) can coconut milk
- 4 large fresh cherrystone clams, scrubbed
- ΒΌ cup chicken broth, or more as needed (Optional)
- 1 fresh lime
- 1 teaspoon fish sauce
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil, divided, or more to taste
- 12 large shrimp, peeled and deveined
Instructions
- Heat peanut oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion and red bell pepper; saute until softened, about 4 minutes. Reduce heat to medium. Add ginger and garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in red chile paste and coconut milk. Add the clams and simmer until flavors combine, 3 to 5 minutes. If curry appears too thick, stir in chicken broth.
- Finely grate zest from the lime. Stir half of the zest into the curry along with fish sauce and brown sugar. Squeeze some lime juice into the curry. Stir in half of the basil and shrimp; simmer curry until shrimp are opaque and cooked through, 5 to 10 minutes. Thin the curry with more chicken broth if needed.
- Scoop clams out of the curry, draining their juice back into the saucepan, and discard. Mix in remaining lime zest and basil before serving.
- Substitute olive oil for the peanut oil if desired.
- Do not use reduced or lite coconut milk, or the recipe will be too watery.
- Nutrition data for this recipe includes the full amount of clams. The actual amount of clams consumed will vary.
