This beautifully fragrant and colourful recipe is super quick and tasty. Kaffir lime leaves and lemongrass is blitzed with garlic, ginger and roasted peppers for a smoky/sweet curry paste. Toss in the prawns and sugar snap peas and add coconut milk for extra creaminess. Serve with fluffy rice for a satisfying and deliciously moreish meal.
This recipe is from Jamie’s 30 Minute Meals TV series first aired on Channel 4 in 2010. Read the full recipe on page 132 of Jamie’s 30 Minute Meals book.

I made this. It sucked so badly.
Please don't label something as "Thai" just because there is lemongrass in it. I'm sure I don't need to explain how the green and red curries are made. Google is your friend. Honestly, other than your Food Revolution movement, which I truly respect you for, it has become impossible to appreciate you as a cook or a chef. The flavors you're bringing out in this dish is SO far from what a Thai red curry is supposed to taste of. SO far. And that's a real shame.
Jamie my friend. I'm a germanboy and a big fan. I always get so much inspiration from you. Thank you my friend :)
It's SHIT
Made this today. Very easy and tasted amazing. Had two friends from Thailand try it out and they were very pleased with the authenticity. I ended up having to add more salt as I tasted the saltiness of the sauce. On top of the shrimp, the sugar snap peas and coconut milk will dilute the flavor a bit so I think you will have to adjust for seasoning. As for the overall flavor, it wasn't there yet until I added the squeeze of lime juice at the end. I was shocked at how drastic the flavor had changed with just a bit of acidity
Maybe its because I'm from a science background, but measurements like teaspoons and tablespoons annoy the hell out of me lol
this is not Thai red curry…not even close to what Thai red curry really is.
it's your own style of red curry.
Made this last week..absolutely amazing … :)
I'm sure it tasted grand because of the individual components however it's so far off the mark its not even funny, soaked pepper I would assume to bring colour to the dish but this would never be used in Thailand in even the crappiest of places and what's the point of using 1 chilli?????? Don't waste your time with this garbage if u want to cook a Thai curry
You can search "วิธีทำ พริกแกงเผ็ด" to see real red curry paste recipe
I think it would have been better if he fried the paste a bit more first, then added coconut milk, and then finally prawns/peas
you use again the ginger in stead of galangal as it is far right taste of paste. how can you name it thai red curry. it is non sense as your curry paste it not red at all.
sorry.. I must correct it as i will not allow any one ruin my Thai recipe;
– no tomatoes
– use roots of coriander not leaves
– use galangal not ginger ( again all our paste curry use galangal not ginger)
– for red you really miss the main of recipe.. it is red chilli. i think you can use paprika in stead. but we use long fed pepper without seeds.(sale in asian shop can be from Vietnam or Thai)
-this time you put paste first was right but please consider to cook paste in coconut cream with low heat till you smell the paste..that is so important tip of the recipe.
can i use canned tunna instead? and when did u put curry;
can i use regular milk instead of coconut milk?
Dear Jamie
I ve been watching you video for long time from your channel to know how to cook the "real western food" like pasta, pizza
because I want to cook in the real way, feel the real taste, and then I ll adapt the receipt to suit me myself
but when I saw Thai receipts in this channel cooked by you. The taste of your cooking is not even closed to the origin. Really not.
Hi! It´s beeeeautiful e so yummy! A doubt: Can I use a dried chilli instead fresh chiilli? What about flavour compare?
350th comment hype!!!!!!'!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm Thai and I've never seen Thai curry likes this before, it's really unique.
Some Thai people who have seen this curry may say 'what the hell is this'.
followed the recipe adding young green asparagus and replacing 50% of the chilly by sweet chilly. smells amazing. Tasty and easy !
I love coriander but in Thailand we use coriander in a clear soup but for curry we normally put basil, it goes well with curry 🙂 ( Red Curry or Green Curry) give it a try and let me know 🙂 oh and one more little tip put 1/2 teaspoon shrimp paste in curry paste it will make a difference
How the hell is this vegetarian?
That looked really easy to make and looked so good.
Thank you i will tray it. :)
looks so yummy!!!
