Authentic Thai Prawn Curry Recipe | Delicious Seafood Dish

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 1 lb prawns, deveined
  • 2 tablespoons red curry paste
  • 1 can coconut milk (14 oz)
  • 1 cup chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 cup bell peppers, sliced
  • 1 cup zucchini, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

6 steps

  1. Prepare the base

    In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add red curry paste and sauté for a minute until fragrant.

    Use a non-stick skillet to prevent sticking.
  2. Add the broth

    Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and bring to a simmer.

    Stir well to combine the curry paste with the broth.
  3. Incorporate coconut milk

    Add the coconut milk, fish sauce, and brown sugar. Stir until well combined.

    Use full-fat coconut milk for a creamier texture.
  4. Add vegetables

    Stir in the bell peppers and zucchini, and cook for about 5 minutes until they're tender.

    You can add other vegetables according to your preference.
  5. Cook the prawns

    Add the prawns to the skillet and cook until they turn pink, about 3-4 minutes.

    Avoid overcooking the prawns to maintain their tenderness.
  6. Finish and serve

    Remove from heat, stir in lime juice, and garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.

    Serve with steamed jasmine rice for a complete meal.

💡 Tips & Tricks

Always use fresh prawns for the best flavor. Adjust the spice level by adding more or less curry paste. Let the curry simmer for a richer flavor. Serve immediately for optimal freshness.
