Thai Prawn Curry

This is another one of my favourite dishes. After visiting Thailand, I was very interested in Thai food and really wanted to make it at home. Its quite easy to make and is very tasty.

For this Thai prawn curry you'll need;

  • 2 1/2 cups coconut milk
  • 2 table spoon yellow curry paste (I use red sometimes if I can't find yellow)
  • 1 table spoon fish sauce
  • 1 tea spoon sugar
  • Salt (as needed)
  • 1 cup prawns (as much as you like really)
  • Cherry tomatoes
  • Peppers (any colour & as much as you like)
  • A little lemon juice (to taste)
  • Coriander leave to garnish






To make the curry, put half the coconut milk into a wok and bring to the boil.  Once the coconut milk is boiling, add the curry paste, stir well until it disperses, then simmer for about 10 minutes. Add the fish sauce, sugar, salt and remaining coconut milk and allow to simmer for about 5 minutes.



Now add the cherry tomatoes, peppers and prawns and simmer again for about 5 minutes until the prawns are pink and tender.



Garnish with chilli flakes and coriander leaves, and sprinkle a little lemon juice and serve with coconut rice or plain rice.




Enjoy!
