Thai inspired prawn red curry recipe made simple.

This recipe is one of my go to week-day dinners as it’s very simple and very quick to make. It does not require any fancy equipment and can be made in one pot/pan. This recipe is full of flavour!

Seasonality

This recipe has a few fresh ingredients, tomatoes and red peppers are best consumed in the summer as this is when the vegetables are their best. Although you can find those vegetables all year around at most supermarkets. Green beans have quite a long season from May to October, but can also be found in supermarkets all year around.

Ingredients Swap Options

In this Thai inspired prawn red currt recipe I used shallots because they have a slightly more delicate and sweeter taste than onions but if you don’t have shallots at home or they ran out at the supermarket, you can use onions and it will work as well!

If you don’t want to use green beans you can exclude or swap them with snap peas or any green vegetable you fancy.

This prawn red curry recipe is dairy and gluten free. It’s also nut, egg and meat free.
