A quick, easy and super tasty Thai Red Prawn Curry recipe that’s mild enough for kids. A new family favourite for sure!
For my recipe I used a thai red curry paste. I know a lot of people prefer to make their own curry pastes at home but to be honest, most days I just don’t have the time and the flavours that you get in the ready-made paste are so tasty.
I’ve only used one teaspoon of the paste so as to keep the heat of this curry very mild and kid-friendly. But if you are cooking it for adults then feel free to add a lot more.
If you try this recipe yourself please do let me know what you and your family think. Or tag me in a picture on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram. I’d love to see your pictures and hearing your comments about the recipes.

Yum! This was mild enough for both myself and my little one as I don’t like spicy food so we both really enjoyed it.
