Coconut Shrimp Curry

November 4, 2014 by Matt 2 Comments

Coconut Prawn Curry

This meal was a staple part of my diet when Laura and I were travelling across Thailand. This means that for me, it’s not only a great tasty meal but it’s also filled with nostalgia.

As we’re moving closer to winter now, this is a great warming dish and you can add more chilli if you’d like it to have more of a kick – it’s already got a fair kick so be careful!

Coconut Shrimp Curry

Ingredients

  • 200ml coconut milk
  • 100g vine tomatoes
  • 1 large potato
  • 1 lime (juice)
  • Pinch of saffron
  • 1 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 2 kaffir lime leaves
  • 100g fine beans
  • 200g raw tiger shrimp
  • 4 spring onions (finely chopped)
  • 1 red pepper (sliced)
  • 30g fresh coriander (chopped)
  • 2 tbsp cashew nuts
  • 1 okra (chopped)
  • 1 tbsp rapeseed oil
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger (finely chopped)
  • 1 clove garlic (finely chopped)

Method

  1. In a large wok, heat 1 tablespoon of rapeseed oil over a high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the spring onion, vine tomatoes (quartered), garlic and cayenne pepper. Fry them for 2-3 minutes, stirring regularly.
  2. Add the potato (peeled and quartered) to the wok - don't worry about boiling it before. Along with the potato, add the red pepper, cashew nuts, okra (if you can't get hold of okra, you can use a green chilli), turmeric, ginger and fine beans. Fry everything in the wok for another 5 minutes, keeping the contents of the pan moving regularly.
  3. You should now start to smell some of the great flavours coming from the pan and there should be a good colour to the dish. Squeeze over the juice of your lime and mix everything together. Now add the saffron, coriander, lime leaves and the coconut milk. Bring the milk to the boil and then turn down the heat. Let the wok simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Take the pan off the heat and leave to sit for 2 minutes before serving. Garnish with a few coriander leaves and some crushed cashew nuts.

    When do you add the tiger prawns?

    Great flavours, but a large potato quartered doesn’t cook in time! Had to take it out, cut each quarter into 3, add boiling water and cook for an extra 15 mins. Even then some pieces were too hard. Would cut into smaller bits from the start next time!

    Other than that it was delicious – no need to add extra chilli!

    Not sure when you’re meant to add the prawns (I added after the cocnut milk) or whether it’s supposed to have tumeric (not listed as ingredient but mentions it in the method – I left it out.)
