Ingredients:

300g prawns, peeled and deveined
300g snapper fillets, cut into pieces
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp butter
1 onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 celery stalks, chopped
2 tbsp plain flour
3 cups fish stock
1 can (400ml) coconut milk
2 potatoes, diced
2 carrots, sliced
2 sprigs fresh thyme
½ tsp allspice
Salt and pepper, to taste
Juice of 1 lime
Fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions:

1 Sauté the base
In a large pot, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat. Sauté onions, garlic, and celery until soft and fragrant. Stir in flour and cook for 2 minutes to create a roux.
2 Simmer the chowder
Gradually whisk in the fish stock and coconut milk, bringing it to a simmer. Add potatoes, carrots, thyme, and allspice. Cook until vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes.
3 Add seafood and serve
Stir in the prawns and snapper pieces, cooking until the seafood is just opaque and tender, about 5 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and lime juice. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
