Served hot with white rice, this dish consists of prawns with delicate flesh and a slight iodine taste. They are coated in a tomato sauce with the right amount of chilli and spices. The sweetness of the coconut milk will balance the spiciness of the dish. The vegetable milk also plays a role in linking the different flavour characters of this recipe. The whole is sprinkled with chopped coriander with a refreshing note.

Which wine to serve with prawn curry? Crispy, intense and aromatic white wine is recommended to enhance the flavours of this dish. Preferably choose a wine with exotic aromas, that perfectly pair with spicy notes. The wine must also provide progressive tension on the finish to avoid faiding quickly in front of the spices. This tension associated with mineral notes also helps counterbalance the richness of the coconut milk sauce and adds freshness.
