We’ve used a good quality spice paste to make this curry in a hurry. Combined with coconut milk, prawns, Asian greens and zingy fresh lime it makes a healthy dinner that’s packed with flavour.
For a recipe like this but with Indian spices, try our Bengali prawn curry.

Red curry paste tends to be spicier than green curry paste, so use green if you prefer a milder curry.
Next time: swap prawns for fish, such as sustainable haddock, coley or cod. Add in step 2, and cook for 2 minutes longer to make sure the fish is cooked through.
