directions

  • Heat the curry paste in a medium-sized saucepan on medium heat for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  • Stir in the evaporated milk. Add the asparagus, beans, zucchini and corn. Gently simmer, without boiling, for 5 minutes until just tender. Remove the vegetables from the pan with a slotted spoon and set aside. Cover to keep warm.
  • Add the prawns and fish sauce to the saucepan. Gently simmer, without boiling, for about 4 minutes, until the prawns are pink and opaque. Return the vegetables to the pan along with half the basil and cook until hot.
  • Serve scattered with the remaining basil leaves.
  • NB: You can also leave the heads on the prawns if desired. Some consider them the most flavoursome part.
  • Do not bring the curry to the boil or it may split.
  • Use ordinary basil if you can't find any Thai basil.
  • You can use 200g thinly sliced chicken breast fillet instead of the prawns (391 calories per serve).
