How to make a prawn curry: key tips This recipe is super simple as the prawns are already cooked and so you are simply adding the flavours to them. The idea behind marinating the prawns in cream and salt is to keep them moist and juicy during cooking. It also seasons the prawns. The cream mixture is then used to create a creamy sauce that complements the prawns, adding another layer of flavour and richness to the dish. Browning the aromatics and capsicum provides flavour to the cream mixture so that it doesn’t taste too bland. Be sure to cook the curry powder in the pan for at least a minute, as the heat will draw out the oils which contain all the flavour so that they incorporate well into the cream mixture. Cooking the flour for another minute, before adding the stock, will also improve the flavour. Only add the prawns after you’ve cooked your sauce until it’s the consistency you like, as you’ll only need to heat them through, not cook them. Serve your curry over steamed white rice.
