During the week I need quick, easy dinners. Prawns meals are normally always a big hit in our house so I thought I would make a curry. As many of you will know, I love my slow cooker and it’s used a lot in our house. On this occasion, I was cooking chicken stock in it and we only have one pot. Therefore I decided to cook this curry on the hob. It was a very speedy dish that had a delicious, sweet but slightly spicy flavour to it. We all really enjoyed this meal so I had to share the recipe with you.

Easy prawn curry was a yummy dinner that we all enjoyed. It was very easy to prepare and cook. Plus it made delicious leftovers the next day too. If you have used frozen cooked prawns then I wouldn’t freeze this dinner for another occasion. Although if you have used uncooked prawns then you could freeze this meal for another occasion. All the ingredients in the sauce are freezable so you could make a large batch of the sauce. However you decide to eat this dish, as always, please enjoy. Thank you xxx
