Prawn, Pumpkin & Spinach Curry

An easy prawn curry that’s delicious served with our Caribbean-inspired Couscous. A great way to use up seasonal pumpkin or squash.

Method

Heat the oil in a large deep-sided frying pan over a low-medium heat. Add the onion and ginger and cook for 8-10 minutes until golden. Add the garlic, chilli, coriander stalks and curry powder and cook for another minute.

Add the pumpkin, turmeric and a good pinch salt and stir for a minute or two. Pour in the coconut milk and 150ml of water. Increase the heat to medium and bring to a simmer. Cook for 10 minutes.

Meanwhile prepare the couscous according to the packet instructions.

Add the prawns, spinach, lime zest and half the juice and cook for 3 minutes or until the prawns are cooked through. Check for seasoning and stir in the remaining lime juice and the coriander leaves.
