3 large limes
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 cup chopped shallots
1 large red bell pepper, cut into ½ - ¾" dice
1½ tablespoons minced peeled fresh ginger
2½ teaspoons Thai red curry paste (such as Thai Kitchen brand)
13½ - 14 ounce can unsweetened coconut milk

Add fish and shrimp to curry sauce. Return to very gentle simmer and cook just until fish and shrimp are opaque in center, 5 to 6 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Gently stir in cilantro and basil; serve with lime wedges.
