Hey everyone, I hope you’ve all had a great day.

If you’ve seen a lot of my posts you’ll know that I feature prawns quite often and I am always looking to improve on the sauce that goes with it. In today’s recipe I’ve used a little coconut cream which has quite a distinctive flavour but adds a beautiful creamy texture to the sauce. Also, recently I have been making meals for one which makes this a really quick dish to create even if you are short for time.

As you can see from the image I ate these prawns with fried dumpling and sweetcorn, which is a little inspiration however, I can imagine that rice and other vegetables would be just as good.
