Easy Prawn Red Thai Curry

  • Prep: 10 Minutes

The beauty of Thai curry is not only do they taste amazing but you can use the exact same recipe for whichever type you like, be it chicken, lamb or just vegetables. This time round though we went for king prawns and it was a perfect end to the day. I will try it with lamb next time. Full of anti inflammatory goodness this one.
