Cook the rice in the microwave according to the packet instructions. Melt the butter in a medium frying pan over a medium heat. Add the garlic and gently fry for 1-2 minutes. Add the ground coriander and turmeric, then cook for 1-2 minutes more. Add the hot rice and prawns, stir to combine, then cook for a further 2 minutes or until thoroughly warmed through.
