Add the pineapple and simmer for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until the sauce reduces and thickens slightly and the beans are crisp-tender. Add the lobster and basil leaves and cook for 4 minutes, or until the lobster is just cooked through.
• Discard the ginger and lime leaves. Season the curry with salt to taste. Transfer one half lobster tail to each warmed serving bowl, and spoon the curry over it. Serve the steamed rice on the side.
