Peel and rinse 1 spring onion (scallion), then chop.

Sprinkle the juice of ½ lime over and stir well.

Stage 5 - 2 min.

The curry powder will stick to the prawns, which is good.

Add the chopped onion.

Stage 8 - 3 min.

Then pour in 150 ml cream, stir well and deglaze the bottom of the pan.

Remarks

The proportions are approximate, so do adapt them to your own taste, especially the curry powder.

It doesn't matter whether you buy the prawns raw or cooked. If they are already cooked, you will only need to brown them very briefly.

Keeping

A few days in the fridge in a sealed container.
