Ingredients

  • 30 g fresh coriander, plus extra to garnish
  • 3 fresh green chillies, chopped
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 50 g garlic butter
  • 500 g prawns, shelled and deveined
  • ¾ cup coconut milk
  • powdered turmeric a good pinch
  • sea salt to taste
  • hot steamed rice, for serving

Method

Blend the coriander and chillies to form a paste. Fry the onion in half the garlic butter until softened and brown.

In a separate pan, fry the prawns in the remaining garlic butter for a minute or two.

Remove from the pan and mix with the fried onions, then stir in the turmeric and coriander paste.

Add the coconut milk to the prawn juices left in the pan.

Bring to a boil then reduce over a brisk heat for a few minutes until slightly thickened.

Return the prawn mixture and gently heat through. Add salt to taste.

Garnish with coriander and serve with the steamed rice.
