Skinny Prawn Curry for Kings




This is one of my favourite winter dishes. A quick, simple, colourful and extremely tasty dish for all! 

What you need, to make for two.


Ingredients:

One pack of cooked peeled king prawns (you can use any type of prawn though, the larger ones just tend to be more flavoursome and soak up the juices better)
One red onion 
One tin of chopped tomatoes
1 clove garlic
4 tsps paprika (smokey paprika would also be amazing)
1tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 bag spinach 
1/2 tsp cumin powder
1tsp curry powder

With my dish I normally make Irish potato flat breads but you could also have, brown rice, (or whatever you want) pitta bread, couscous, a baked potatoe... Oh the list is endless with this one! 

To make:

Fry off in a wok your red onion with some olive oil.
When soft and browning throw in your garlic for about 40 seconds or until it starts to colour. 
Now put in your spices, salt and pepper so it covers all the onion and garlic. You may want to add a couple of tbsps of water incase it's sticking! 
You can now add your tin of chopped tomatoes and let it simmer away for 5 minutes to let the flavours disperse- giving a regular stir to check its not sticking. 
Now add the prawns, you don't want to over cook them, I usually let them simmer in the mixture for about 4-5minutes. The flavours will infuse the prawns quickly.

Serving:
In a wide or shallow bowl place a hand full of fresh spinach. 
On top ladle in your curry- as much as you want as this is a healthy one!
On top add a dollop of Creme fraiche with a sprinkling of rock salt (if you want) and a sprig of coriander.

For the flat potato bread follow this recipe



And voila, a delicious meal in around 25 minutes! What more could you ask for? It tastes pretty great too!
