Sometimes social media does not disappoint!!

Spicy Coconut Curry Scallops🍛🌿😍
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon neutral oil
4 Roma tomatoes, quartered
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon Indian curry paste
2 cups chicken or vegetable stock
1 cup coconut milk
16 dry sea scallops, side muscle removed
Salt and pepper to taste
¼ cup loosely packed cilantro, minced
Red pepper flakes, optional, for garnish
4 pieces store-bought naan, toasted
Instructions:
Char the tomatoes:
Heat the oil in a wide pot over medium-high. Once very hot and shimmering, add the tomatoes, cut-side down, and cook without moving for 3-5 minutes. Once charred, flip and cook an additional 1-2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Brown the curry paste:
Melt the butter into the pot and add the curry paste. Lightly mash it with the back of your spoon and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Simmer the sauce:
Pour in the chicken or vegetable stock and bring to a boil. Taste and season to your preferences. Reduce heat to medium and add the coconut milk. Allow to bubble on medium heat for 10 minutes. Do not allow the sauce to reduce too much or to boil too hard.
Cook the scallops:
While the sauce simmers, pat the scallops dry and remove the side muscle. Season well with salt and pepper. Gently place the scallops in the broth in an even layer and reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 5–6 minutes. Turn off the heat and leave the scallops in the pot with the lid on for 1–2 minutes. Remove the lid. If the scallops are opaque, serve immediately. If they need to cook a little longer, cover again and allow the residual heat from the broth to cook them. Do not overcook them!
To serve:
Ladle the coconut curry broth and charred tomatoes into shallow bowls and arrange 4 scallops in each bowl. Garnish with minced cilantro and red pepper flakes. Serve with warm naan or cooked basmati rice, if desired. Enjoy!

How much money have we spent in the 4 years investigating Roatan and then building and furnishing a house??? I think we single handedly paid for a pool, lazy river and a mall at the deep water port downtown 😂😂😂

Going with the easy post today. West Bay Beach!! Continually labeled one of the best beaches in the world and for anybody who cruises knows, the best snorkeling in the world. Go on non-cruise ship day and have it all to yourself!!! The island is entirely surrounded by the 2nd largest natural reef in THE WORLD. WB beach is the easiest place to enjoy it, walk out 50ft in the crystal clear water... Just 12 miles (19km) from the house, 20 minutes depending on the the stage of the road widening when you visit !!!!! We have snorkel gear in the house or Palmetto Bay dive shop has daily rentals as cheap as 10 bucks, hold onto it as long as you need!!

Give the house page a like and follow for cool content every day!!!

Pretty good West Bay snorkel link right here! https://www.snorkeling-report.com/spot/snorkeling-west-bay-roatan/

Not as cool as turtles, but for todays post I give you RTB. Aeropuerto de Roatan. Our tickets from MCO to RTB for July were $424.00 each round trip. From the US its Delta, United or American. You have to go through Houston, Charlotte or Miami (as of 6/24). At RTB There are 3 gates all sharing a waiting area and the sliding doors are next to each other. Only two ticketing lines and One security line. It is 30 minutes tops to park and get to you gate if you arrive early (1.5hrs early).. Upon Roatan arrival its 20-90 minutes to get through customs depending on your plane seat and if your plane was 1st or second that day. No imigration forms anymore, just a declarations form you can do online ahead of time. We have locals who can rent you cars or a resort shuttle to take you to the house. From there you can arrange local taxis or rental car delivery during your stay. Not all airport rental car companies are good, ask us for help!
