Instructions



1. Prepare all ingredients before beginning. In 5- to 6-quart pot, heat oil over medium-low heat. Add onion, stirring well. Cover and cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add bell peppers, garlic and jalapeño. Cover and cook an additional 5 minutes; stir occasionally.
   
   
2. Add curry powder and rice; stir briefly just to coat rice. Then add undrained tomatoes, clam juice and 2 tablespoons lime juice. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer, cover and cook 15 minutes. Stir occasionally.
   
   
3. Stir fish, 2 tablespoons cilantro, salt and pepper into the stew base. Cover and simmer 5 minutes. Put arrowroot into a measuring cup and whisk in coconut milk. Remove stew from heat and ladle some into the coconut milk, stirring well. Pour back into stew, place on medium-low heat, and stir in the shrimp. Heat through 5 minutes. Add remaining 2 tablespoons each of lime juice and cilantro. Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary before serving.
