Tips On The Perfect King Prawn Curry Recipe
- Make your life easy and get some store-bought Thai Red Curry Paste. But if you prefer to make your own then you can check out this red curry paste recipe.
- Use already cooked frozen prawns for this curry but you can also use uncooked prawns which will take a little longer to cook.
- You can also use regular cooked frozen prawns instead of king prawns.
- You can substitute other beans like black-eyed beans or borlotti beans for the chickpea in this prawn curry recipe.
- Chop your vegetables small so your curry cooks quickly.
- This recipe is immensely adaptable. Feel free to add other quick-cooking vegetables like mushroom, green beans and broccoli.
Prawn Curry For A Crowd

I love prawns and this looks so tasty! Perfect for the changing seasons!
All the great flavors!! Loving this recipe. I am a big fan of homemade curries made easy, so this is perfect.
This looks delicious!

I LOVE making Thai curries – so quick and easy, especially using all these frozen ingredients! I’ve never tried frozen rice but I bet it’s a brilliant time saver.
Exactky Becca.
This looks amazing, lovely and colourful too – I’m so impressed with the ingredients Iceland now have available.
I was too when I first went in there recently.
Bintu, kudos to you! You do have a lot on your plate… using your freezer and reducing meal prep time is so smart! The red curry and prawns sounds like a great combo, and living near the Gulf of Mexico, I should definitely try it!
Ooooooh lucky you living in souch a fab (warm) place.
Just wow. I genuinely didn’t think it would be possible to make a than red curry (or any curry for that matter) in just 15nins. This recipe is fab!!!
Thanks Emma – it is all about shortcuts.
Frozen ingredients are so convenient! I love finding recipes that use them. This looks like such a great quick and easy weeknight dinner. And how cool is that frozen rice? I’ve never seen those before.
I know right – frozen rice is just so handy to make a stir fry, throw in some soup and eat with a curry.
Looks gorgeous. Frozen spinach, chili, garlic and herbs are staples at my house. They make meals so quick and easy!
Exactly – so handy to always have some.
This looks so yummy. I would love to taste this x
Pop over to Iceland, but all the goodies and you can make and taste it in 15 mins 😀
What a delicious weeknight meal. I hear you–it can be so tough to cook healthy meals when life gets hectic. I love the addition of spinach and chickpeas in this recipe. Can’t wait to try it!
Thanks Lucy. We all should have a set of easy but tasty recipes up our sleeves right?
I can imagine what ur going through! That’s quite a bit on your plate. I go equally mad dreaming up quick meals coz of my day job, kid and blog. I did an amazing job with this !! Love prawn and red curry
Thanks Swayam. I feel so guilty with so much on my plate sometimes.
I love using Iceland’s frozen spinach SO handy isn’t it? Anyway this looks great, more often than not a meal like this one would usually take me an hour to prep/cook, nice to see you reduce it to only 15 minutes. Of Topic, what social media sharing plugin are you using?
Thanks Charla. Will bo cooking lots more with the iceland range going forward. Not sure what you mean re social media share plugin – I have shareholic??? .
I love how quick and easy this meal seems. I’ve not massive red Thai fan but I do love prawns!
Hey Kirsty – you can sub the Thai curry paste for another curry paste of your preference.
