Ingredients

  • 270ml can coconut cream
  • 75g (1/4 cup) Thai red curry paste
  • 1 tbsp fish sauce
  • 1 tbsp grated palm sugar or brown sugar
  • 270ml can coconut milk
  • 500g green king prawns, peeled with tails intact, cleaned
  • 500g kingfish fillets, cut into 4cm pieces
  • 2 tbsp Thai basil or coriander leaves
  • 6 makrut lime leaves, centre vein removed, thinly shredded
  • Steamed jasmine rice, to serve
  • Sliced Lebanese cucumbers, to serve
  • Savoy cabbage leaves, to serve
  • Trimmed snake beans, to serve

Steps

  1. Place the coconut cream in a heavy-based saucepan over medium heat. Stir occasionally and cook for 5 minutes until it begins to release its oils. Add the curry paste and continue to stir occasionally for another 3 minutes. Mix in fish sauce, palm sugar, and 80ml (1/3 cup) water, then let it simmer for 5 minutes.
  2. Pour in the coconut milk and bring to a gentle simmer. Add the prawns and kingfish pieces, reduce the heat to low, and cook for about 10 minutes or until the seafood is just about cooked through.
  3. Gently stir in the Thai basil or coriander. Divide the curry into bowls and top with shredded makrut lime leaves. Serve with steamed jasmine rice and fresh vegetables like cucumber, cabbage leaves, and snake beans on the side.
