1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger

3 tablespoons lime juice

1 tablespoon grated lime zest

¼–½ teaspoon red chili pepper flakes

2 teaspoons sugar

⅛ teaspoon curry powder

This wonderful marinade is ideal for shellfish such as scallops and prawns. The acidity of the lime is perfectly balanced with the sweetness of the coconut, sugar, and curry.
