Published: 8/24/2026

A fusion dish connecting the popularity of spicy laksa flavors in Nordic cities like Stockholm and Helsinki with the region’s premium seafood, using cold-water shrimp and mussels in a spicy coconut broth.

Ingredients (4 servings)

• 8 oz (225 g) protein-fortified fusilli
• 1 lb (450 g) mixed seafood (cold-water shrimp, mussels, squid)
• 1 can (14 oz / 400 ml) coconut milk
• 1 tbsp (15 g) red curry paste
• 1 cup (240 ml) seafood broth

Instructions

1. Boil the pasta until al dente.
2. Whisk the coconut milk, curry paste, and broth together in a pot; simmer.
3. Poach the seafood in the liquid for 5 minutes.
4. Toss with the cooked pasta until the sauce clings to the noodles.

Pro Tips

• The Simmer Secret: Coconut milk can break if boiled too hard. Keep it at a gentle bubble to maintain that signature laksa creaminess.
