Curried Prawns
Serving: 4
Ingredients
- 2 cups full cream milk
- 2T cornflour
- 1t curry powder
- Pinch saffron (crushed and soaked in a a T of warm water for 10mins, while you prep other ingredients)
- 18 large green/raw prawns
- (extra T of cornflour in reserve)
Instructions
- Whisk milk, 2T cornflour, curry and saffron together and cook in 1.5L slow cooker for 2hrs on low
- Whisking occasionally to keep lump free
- After 2hrs if not thick enough add the extra T of cornflour (made into a slurry with a T of tap water) to really thicken up your curry roux – if needed.
- Add raw prawns and cook for a further 15 minutes on high or until prawns are cooked through and changed colour
- Serve on rice as an entrée or main
- (not spicy so you can add more curry if you like some heat in yours)

Is the ‘T’ for Tablespoon??
That’s right Scott … T is tablespoon, t is teaspoon
This looks fabulous! Just wondering whether I can replace the full cream milk with say Coconut Milk as I cannot have too much dairy? Thanks ?
I’ve not done it myself but I can’t see why not Carolyn 🙂
What other fish can you use if you don’t have Prawns
Any firm white fillet I think would work (cut into pcs) but of course just be aware cooking time may vary once you add them so just check on them to see
Thank you Paulene
This looks really delicious, is the recipe cooked on high the whole time or just the last 15 min when the prawns go in?
Sorry if it’s a silly question but I want to make sure I do it right lol, it doesn’t say high or low for the first 2 hours of cooking.
Thank you
Thanks so much for letting me know that was missing!
Fixed now 🙂
It’s low for that first stage x
I have tried it twice and it has not worked for me. Followed to a t and still runny water sauce and just not nice. So disappointed I really like the look of yours. I suck at this cooking game
What size slow cooker are you using Shelley – that can make a difference to your cooking times to thicken etc
Are your prawns fresh or frozen or?
Have you considered increasing your cornflour to an extra spoon if you are finding yours still not thickened enough in your cooker?
I’ve made this and it’s really easy and delicious. I added more milk and then rice. It was beautiful.
Hi Paulene can I use cooked prawns? If so when would I put them in. Thank you
If adding cooked prawns Marolyn I would add them at the same time and just cook until they heated through then serve 🙂
Thank you will try tonight
As with the other folk, I found it needed thickening more and required extra CF, for our taste I used 3t Curry and half t of salt. Mixed veg added and served on Rice. Quite nice meal.
Cooked this one last night absolutely delicious did not last long but one thing to be careful of is if you don’t take it straight out of the cooker the prawns will continue to cook and can be overcooked very quickly but will definitely be saving this recipe
That’s awesome – thanks Jim for taking the time to leave your feedback! 🙂
Can all recipes be frozen
No. Not all recipes can be frozen. It depends on the recipe.
