I can’t begin to tell you how much I love Prawns. Not only are they delicious and juicy when cooked right but they also take on flavour so beautifully which makes them perfect for a curry.

Fridge – Prawn recipes are best eaten fresh. At a push, they can be kept in an airtight container in the fridge for a day or two. 

Reheating Prawns – If you need to reheat leftovers. you can add a splash of water to a pan and reheat them slowly until warmed through. You can reheat them in the microwave too.

Freezer – I would not recommend freezing cooked prawns. 

tips and hints for Prawn Curry Recipe

• Prawns require very little cooking. Over cooking makes them rubbery and tough. 
• A squeeze of Lemon Juice before serving helps to bring the flavours together.
