Ingredients
- 40 mL olive oil
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons red curry paste
- 1 red capsicum, thinly sliced
- 1 (400 mL) can coconut milk
- 450 g large prawns, cleaned and deveined
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- ¼ cup coriander, chopped
- Steamed white rice for serving
Instructions - Add olive oil to a large, heavy-bottomed pot and set over medium heat. Add onion and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the onions are softened and golden brown. Add ginger and garlic and cook for 1 minute more, or until very fragrant. Season with ¼ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper.
- Add the red curry paste, stirring with a wooden spoon to coat all the aromatics with curry paste. Add the capsicum and sauté for about 3 to 4 minutes, or until softened. Add coconut milk, then fill the can about halfway with water (200 mL) and add that to the pot as well. Bring to a simmer.
- While the coconut milk simmers, season the prawns with the remaining salt and pepper. Add the prawns to the simmering sauce, then cover and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the prawns are cooked through.
- Remove from heat and stir in lime juice and coriander before serving with steamed rice.
Equipment - Non-Stick Dutch Oven Pot
Notes
Tip: Avoid overcooking your prawns by removing your curry from the heat as soon as they turn opaque and serve immediately.
