  • 2 tablespoons mild-flavoured oil, such as sunflower
  • 20 large green prawns, shelled and deveined, with tails intact
  • 2 tablespoons red curry paste
  • 1 large onion, cut into thin wedges
  • 400g asparagus, trimmed and cut into 4cm lengths on the diagonal
  • 1 red capsicum, cored, deseeded and cut into thin strips
  • 200ml coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sugar

To serve

  • coriander leaves
  • steamed rice

Method

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a wok or large frying pan over a high heat. Add the prawns and stir-fry for 2 minutes or until they turn pink and are just cooked. Remove and set aside.
  2. Return the wok to a high heat, add the remaining oil, followed by the curry paste, and cook, stirring, for 1 minute or until fragrant. Add the onion and asparagus and stir-fry for 2 minutes, then add the capsicum and cook for a further 1 minute.
  3. Add the coconut milk, lime juice, fish sauce and sugar, and stir to combine. Return the prawns to the wok and cook for a further minute or until they are heated through. Scatter over some coriander leaves and serve with steamed rice.

    A stunning meal. Mine looked different from the photo on this page as it had lots of yummy sauce. The only thing different I did was add the prawns with the vegetables. Everyone in my family gobbled it down and I can't wait to cook it again.
