This incredibly quick and easy prawn curry is perfect for weeknights when you are short on time. Our simple Keto curry is packed with fats and flavor from warming curry spices, aromatic onion and garlic, a hint of tomato, creamy coconut and juicy prawns. The curry is topped with cooling fresh cilantro to serve. This Keto Indian inspired recipe makes a great lunch or dinner option served with your preferred Keto sides. ### Can I Use a Different Protein? Our quick and easy Keto curry sauce has been designed for speed and simplicity. The sauce makes a versatile base to which you can add your preferred low carb additions and alternative protein if desired. We have used prawns for quick cooking; however, this could easily be replaced with diced fish, chicken, or tofu. Please be sure to adjust your macros and cooking times to allow for any alternative ingredients used. ### Serving Suggestions Our Keto curry recipe provides a generous portion of sauce, making it ideal served over a bed of cauliflower rice. We also recommend serving with some of our Keto coconut flour Indian flatbreads for mopping up the curry gravy. If you would like some refreshing sides, you can add our Keto Indian Avocado Salsa recipe. You will find these recipes and other low carb Indian dishes in our sides section.

How to make Keto Quick and Easy Prawn Curry

Finely dice the onion and crush the garlic. Melt the coconut oil in a saucepan over a low/medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and sweat gently for 3-4 minutes until tender and fragrant.
Add two generous teaspoons of tomato paste and the curry powder to the saucepan. Mix well to combine. You may add more or less paste or powder to suit your personal tastes. Heat through gently for a minute to warm the spices, taking care not to burn.
Add the coconut milk to the saucepan. Stir well to combine and bring up to a gentle level boil. Reduce to a simmer for five minutes to reduce and thicken the sauce.
Add the prawns to the pan. Stir well to combine. Continue to simmer for a few minutes until the prawns are piping hot and cooked through. Divide between two serving bowls, scatter with fresh chopped cilantro, and serve with your favorite Indian inspired Keto sides.
