Green Curry Prawns with Noodles

This vibrant green prawn curry with noodles is a wonderful way to bring authentic Thai-inspired flavours into your home kitchen. The sauce begins with a fresh, aromatic paste of lemongrass, ginger, and garlic, creating a deep savoury base that is perfectly balanced by the creamy richness of unsweetened coconut milk. Using large prawns ensures a satisfying texture, making this a standout dish for anyone looking for a fresh and fragrant meal.

As a high-protein dinner option, this recipe is as nourishing as it is delicious. The use of dried rice noodles makes it naturally gluten-free if using a certified stock, providing a light yet comforting alternative to traditional wheat pasta. It is an ideal quick midweek meal for the family, but elegant enough to serve to guests with a simple garnish of fresh coriander sprigs.
