This simple, speedy Thai seafood curry makes such a quick mid week meal - you can have it on the table in less than 20 mins! Packs of mixed seafood are available in most supermarkets, all prepared and ready to use, but if you prefer, just use prawns. Thai red curry paste varies in heat and flavour so err on the side of caution, you can always add more to taste. Coconut milk gives a lovely creamy sauce but if you want to reduce the calories and fat use a reduced-fat one, the taste is very similar.

Top Tip for making Thai seafood curry

Pak choi is a Chinese leaf - like a mini lettuce with crisp sweet stems and succulent leaves - it needs very little cooking so just add at the last minute to stir-fries and curries.
