How to Make Woked Out Prawns

  1. Heat a wok or large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, 1 red bell pepper, chopped, and 2 cloves garlic, minced.
  2. Stir-fry for 3 minutes, until the vegetables begin to soften.
  3. Add 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1 teaspoon ground coriander, and 1/2 teaspoon curry powder. Cook for 1 minute more, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
  4. Pour in 1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered for 2 minutes. Add 1 pound peeled and deveined prawns. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the prawns turn pink and opaque. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon cornstarch and 2 tablespoons water until smooth.
