Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 tablespoon coconut oil or olive oil
1 pound prawns, cleaned and peeled with tails removed
2 spring onions, diced
1-inch fresh ginger, grated or minced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 carrot, julienned or thinly sliced
1/2 red bell pepper, julienned or thinly sliced
1 cup snow peas
1 cup bean sprouts
1 can coconut milk (400ml)
1/2 cup vegetable or chicken
2 tablespoons Thai red curry paste
1 handful of fresh coriander, roughly chopped
Fish sauce (optional)
Salt

Steps:

  • In a large pan or skillet, heat oil on medium heat.
  • Add spring onions, ginger and garlic and cook for 1 - 2 minutes, stirring frequently to ensure they do not burn.
  • Add carrot and bell pepper and continue to cook for 3 - 4 minutes until tender but not soft.
  • Add curry paste, stir to coat the vegetables, and heat for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then add a small tablespoon of broth to the pan to remove any tasty bits from the bottom of the pan.
  • Add remaining broth and coconut milk, stirring to combine with the vegetable mixture.
  • Add snap peas, bean sprouts and raw prawn, stir to combine in the vegetable and coconut milk mixture, reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 5-6 minutes until prawns are cooked through and no longer pink.
  • As the mixture cooks, monitor the consistency and add as much broth as needed. If you prefer a thinner broth add a little more.
  • Season with a pinch of sea salt (or 1 teaspoon of fish sauce) to taste. At the last minute, stir in the coriander.
  • Once cooked, the prawn curry can be served immediately on its own or with a side of rice.
  • The curry can also be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days or in the freezer for 3 months.
