1. Seafood Marinade: Mix together all the marinade ingredients in a bowl. Toss the seafood in the marinade and leave to marinate for 15 minutes-1 hour in the refrigerator.
2. Carrot and Coriander Soup: Melt the butter in a large saucepan and add the onion. Cook over a moderate heat until the onion is soft and transparent. Add the garlic, ginger, ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric, 1/2 of the chopped red chilli, carrots and sweet potato to the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes, add the orange zest and stock, increase the heat to moderate-high and bring to the boil then reduce to a simmer and leave to cook for 30 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
3. Place the mixture into a food processor and blend to a smooth puree. Return to the saucepan and stir in the orange juice, double cream and seasoning until well combined. Reheat the soup so that it is hot when ready to serve. Stir in the chopped Coriander and remaining chilli.
4. To Cook Seafood: Place a large grill pan over a high heat. When the pan is hot place the seafood on it and cook for a minute on each side. Keep the seafood hot until ready to serve. Alternatively cook the seafood under a hot grill.
5. To Serve: Distribute the soup among six bowls. Arrange the fish pieces around the bowl and place 2 prawns in the centre. Sprinkle over the Coriander and serve.
