Peppers and Prawns – what a tasty combination! Add all the delicious and healthy spices and chilli and you have yourself a delicious, ‘dry’ curry!
I got my prawns for this Peppers and Prawns Curry at Meat Collective on the East Coast of Singapore. We also buy quite a lot of our Grass Fed Beef and Free Range Lamb from there, especially for BBQ’s where we are feeding a lot of people.
A Salad topped with this Peppers and Prawns Curry is great with this Asian Ginger dressing

If your prawns are whole, remove the heads, shell and devein and wash them, leaving the tails on.

Place the prawns in a dish with salt and lime juice, mix and leave in the fridge for 30 minutes
-
Pour oil in a wok over high heat and add the garlic, ginger and curry leaves and cook for 30 seconds
-
Add the prawns and stir until the prawns are opaque - about 1 minute.
-
Remove prawns from the wok and set aside.
-
Add onion to the wok, then chill and capsicum (bell pepper) and toss for 2 minutes.

Add chilli sauce, tomato paste and chutney then return prawns and cook for 2-3 minutes.

Taste and add salt, pepper or a splash of lime juice if needed and serve with steamed rice or over vegetables or sweet potato mash!

Note: I buy ginger pickle/mango atchar and mix a bit with water instead of using the chilli sauce, tomato paste and chutney.
