    If using whole crabs or lobsters, cook them in boiling water for 10-15 minutes until fully cooked. Remove meat from shells and set aside.

    Stir in the tomato puree and red curry paste. Cook for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

    Pour in the coconut milk, add the saffron threads, and season with salt and black pepper. Bring to a simmer.

    Combine Seafood

    Gently add crab and lobster meat to the curry. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the seafood is heated through. Stir in lemon juice and chopped cilantro before serving.

    Cook Rice

    In a pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the basmati rice and sauté for 1-2 minutes.
