Coconut Green Curry Prawns
- 1 Tablespoon Canola Oil
- 4 Tablespoons Green Curry Paste
- 2- 1/2 cups Coconut Milk
- 1 Tablespoon Fish Sauce
- 1 whole Lime (plus More Lime Wedges For Serving)
- 1 cup Cubed Pineapple (fresh Or Canned Are Both Fine)
- 1 whole Red Pepper, Sliced Thinly
- 1 pound Raw Peeled And De-veined Prawns
- 1/2 cups Chopped Cilantro
- Steamed Rice, To Serve
- In a wok or large saucepan, heat the oil over medium high heat.
- Add the curry paste and saute, stirring with a spoon, for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add the coconut milk and fish sauce and bring to a boil; once boiling, reduce heat to low.
- Grab your lime and slice it in half; squeeze the juice into the curry/coconut mixture and then just drop the squeezed out halves into the mixture (they will continue to add some nice flavor to the sauce).
- Allow the curry to simmer on low heat for 10-15 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes or so.
- Once the sauce has simmered, this is the time to taste for seasoning.
- Everyones taste is different.
- I found that the 4 tablespoons of curry paste was just the right amount of spice for me.
- Mr. Delish could have handled it hotter but I am a big baby and wouldnt allow it.
- If you taste it and feel like it needs more curry, just stir some in and taste it again.
- If it needs more salt, add more fish sauce or just add some salt.
- The reason that you really need to taste the curry before you go any further is twofold.
- For one, pre-made curry pastes can vary greatly in flavor, salt and spice, therefore it would be silly of me to say 4 tablespoons of ANY particular brand would produce the exact same flavor.
- Secondly, everyones idea of spicy is different, therefore to make sure that you are happy with the flavor, you really need to taste and adjust.
- Once you are happy with the flavor of the curry sauce, you can add in the pineapple, red pepper and prawns.
- Cook for 4-5 minutes, until the prawns are pink and cooked through.
- At the last minute, add about half of the chopped cilantro and give the curry a good stir.
- Serve over steamed rice and garnish with a sprinkle of the remaining cilantro, and some lime wedges on the side.
