Curry Soup with Coconut Milk and a Prawn Kebab
Fast to cook and above all, very tasty!
Ingredients
- 4 wood or lemongrass sticks
- 12 standard prawns (3 per kebab)
- 250ml good fish stock
- 250ml coconut milk
- ½ a carton of crème fraiche
- 20g roasted coconut flakes
- 2-3 finely chopped shallots
- 1 finely-chopped garlic clove (optional)
- 1 sour apple chopped into small chunks
- 1 slice of pineapple chopped into small chunks
- ½ Chilli
- Zest of half a lemon
- Curry powder (to taste)
- Some Butter
Preparation
- Remove the prawns from their shells. With a kitchen knife, cut along the back and remove the black or brown intestines.
- Place 3 prawns per kebab stick per person. Add the shells to the fish stock and allow to simmer on low for 15 minutes – this will add some of the prawn flavour to the original fish stock.
- Fry the shallots and garlic in some butter.
- Add the apple, pineapple and lemon zest.
- Add curry powder and chilli to taste.
- Cover everything lightly with 1-1½ tablespoons of flour. Add the fish stock, coconut milk and crème fraiche. Stir for approximately 10-15 mins. and allow to cook slowly.
- Spice the prawn kebab and fry on each side for 2-3 mins. With some oil till light pink in colour, then remove the pan from the heat and allow the prawns to cook further, being very careful to not over cook them.
