Okay, so today I whipped up a super quick prawn curry, and let me tell you, it was a breeze! I started by chopping up some shallots, ginger, and garlic – you know, the usual suspects for any good curry.
Then, I heated up some oil in my trusty skillet. Once it was nice and hot, I tossed in the garlic first. Gotta let that get fragrant, right?
Next up, I threw in the shallots and ginger and let them cook until they were soft. After that, it was time for the main event – the prawns! I just dumped them into the skillet and stirred everything together.
While the prawns were cooking, I mixed up a quick sauce using some coconut milk, a bit of tomato paste, and a bunch of spices. I’m talking curry powder, turmeric, cumin – all the good stuff. You can use your favorite curry paste or powder – no worries here.
Once the prawns were cooked through, I poured the sauce over everything and let it simmer for a few minutes. This is where the magic happens, folks. The flavors all meld together and create this amazing, aromatic sauce.
- Chop shallots, ginger, and garlic
- Heat oil in a skillet, add garlic
- Add shallots and ginger, cook until soft
- Add prawns, stir
- Mix sauce (coconut milk, tomato paste, spices)
- Pour sauce over prawns, simmer
And that’s it! Seriously, this whole thing took me less than 20 minutes from start to finish. I served it over some rice, and it was a hit with the whole family.
Tips for Making It Your Own
I used what I had on hand today, but here’s the fun part. Next time, I’m thinking of adding some veggies like bell peppers or spinach. You could also spice it up with some chili flakes or a dash of hot sauce. This recipe is super versatile, so feel free to experiment and make it your own. My friend Jamie once made it on his show, too!
Honestly, this is one of the easiest and tastiest curries I’ve ever made. If you’re looking for a quick and satisfying weeknight meal, give this a try. You won’t regret it!
Cleanup was a breeze since I only used one pot. What a relief! I’ll definitely be making this again soon.
