Basil Coconut Prawn Curry (with Thai Basil)

Basil Coconut Prawn Curry (with Thai Basil & Coconut Cream)

This recipe for Basil Coconut Prawn Curry is another RAS original and one I am thrilled to share with you. The super creamy curry is bursting with mild Indo-Thai-fusion flavors, yet one of the simplest to make with very few basic ingredients. Made in only one skillet and you will have a delicious curry ready in 20 minutes! And when I say a few basic ingredients, I mean it! No chopping of shallots, garlic, or ginger.. It couldn’t be quicker to make!

What makes the curry so yummy, is how the prawns are cooked.. in two stages, with very brief cooking timing. This ensures the prawns are delicate and succulent and the flavors are enhanced by the creamy coconut curry!
