Thai Green curry is one of the most flavourful Thai dishes that you can make at home. Add some zing to dinner with this easy-peasy Thai Green Prawn Curry. The main ingredient is the green curry paste, you can make this from scratch but it requires some unusual ingredients so I usually just buy a readymade paste. You will find this in any Thai supermarket or big supermarket. I’d advise you to buy a good quality paste even if it is a bit more expensive. You only use a spoon or two per recipes so it is worth it to pay a bit extra. I will share more recipes with this green curry paste, it is very handy.
Ever since I tried green curry on a night out, it is my preferred dish every time we go to a Thai restaurant and if it’s served with seafood even better. I love the creaminess from the coconut milk, however sometimes it can be a bit heavy so to avoid this we can reduce the amount of coconut milk by adding a bit of water or veggie broth to the recipe. I’ll show you below how you can make a rich but still healthy thai green curry today.
I was looking forward to telling you about this Thai Green Prawn Curry recipe, both if you are a Thai food lover or this is your first Thai dish I’m pretty sure you are going to love this recipe. Cooking it again for this post has been the perfect excuse to have another Thai night. My personal touch to this dish is the sweet potato chunks, it adds a bit of sweetness that goes really well with the spicy flavours of the curry.
Although this thai green prawn curry is such a delight on its own, it also works really well with cauliflower rice. It is a healthy alternative to white rice and is delicious in this dish, find out below how easy it is to make.
