    • How to Make Thai Prawn Red Curry
    • Defrost the prawns in a bowl of cold water, then drain and set aside.
    • Peel and finely chop the onion.
    • Peel and finely grate or mince the fresh ginger.
    • Heat the vegetable oil in a large saucepan or wok over medium heat.
    • Add the chopped onion to the pan and sauté until soft and translucent.
    • Add the grated ginger and fry for 1 minute until fragrant.
    • Stir in 1-2 teaspoons of Thai red curry paste and cook for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the paste to release its aroma.
    • Pour in the can of chopped tomatoes and mix thoroughly.
    • Add the coconut cream sachet, stirring until fully dissolved and the sauce is smooth.
    • Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer, allowing it to cook for 5-7 minutes so the flavors combine.
    • Add the drained prawns to the simmering curry sauce.
    • Cook gently for 4-5 minutes, or until the prawns are opaque and cooked through.
    • Taste the curry and adjust seasoning with more curry paste if desired.
    • Prepare coriander by rinsing and roughly chopping.
    • Remove the curry from the heat and ladle into warm bowls.
    • Garnish generously with chopped coriander.
    • Serve immediately with steamed jasmine rice or rice noodles if desired.
