Delicious Quick Thai Green Prawn Curry - perfect over white steamed rice with fresh lime slices and coriander.
I absolutely love Thai Curries, they are so delicious, but usually high in cals, as full-fat coconut milk is used.
However, it is very easy to create a lower calorie version with the carton versions of coconut milk you can buy, which are very low in fat and calories. It will mean however that your curry is not as thick, as obviously you don't have the cream of the full-fat coconut milk.
I actually prefer my Thai Curries saucier anyway, but if you like it thicker you can always add a little bit of starch (corn, arrowroot or tapioca) a tablespoon to thicken it a little.
For a Thai Green Curry - I love to add prawns (shrimp), it is definitely my preferred choice, whereas for a Thai Red Curry I like chicken or beef like this Thai Red Beef Curry right here on my blog.
This Thai Green Prawn Curry is perfect served with some steamed white jasmine rice or if you want to add more speed foods or are on an SP day then try this Roasted Cauliflower Rice.
I use carton Silk Coconut Milk (as it has no carrageenan in it), that won't be available however in the UK, so use a similar brand like Koko Coconut Milk.
