This easy Thai inspired dish is one of my favourite. It is light, crispy, creamy yet with a punch of character. It is great for lunch or an impressive starter. You can replace the prawns with chicken breast….. it is just as yummy. Happy Cooking.
Serve:1 Ingredients: 170 grams Raw king prawn
1tbs Rapeseed oil
1tbs Thai red curry paste
70ml Thai coconut milk or Coconut cream
1/2tbs Cream cheese
1tsp Sugar
1tsp Fish sauce
1tsp Oyster sauce
10 Basil leaf
1 sheet Filo pastry
1 Spring onion –trimmed and uses only the green string.
-Gently fry the Thai red curry paste in the rapeseed oil approx. 5 minutes.
-Add the coconut milk, sugar, fish sauce, oyster sauce into the same pan and simmer for approx. 10 minutes.
-Add the cream cheese and prawns into the same pan, mix well and simmer for further 5 minutes.
-Separate the Cooked King Prawns from the curry sauce. Leave the curry sauce a side.
-Lay the filo sheet on the baking tray. Transfer the cooked king prawns onto the filo sheet. Then make the parcel and tight it with spring onion. (Or anything that can do the trick, white cotton, a sliced carrot ..as you can see I used a wooden peg!)
-Put the parcel in the oven for approx. 7-9 minutes.
– Serve it on the bed of salad and drizzle with the curry sauce on top. Enjoy.
Tip: -Keep an eye on closely while baking the parcel as the filo pastry is easily gets burn.
-Lightly brush the pastry with melted butter before and perhaps after baking to add extra magic.
