Ingredients

12 XL King Prawns, cut down the back and remove intestine

1 red onion, diced

1 jar Pataks Vindaloo Spice paste

½ tin diced tomatoes

1 tablespoon white vinegar

4 frozen banana leaves

½ bunch coriander

2 green chillies

2 limes

METHOD

In a frying pan cook off the onion in oil then add in the curry paste and cook out. Add in the tomatoes and a pinch of salt, cook until thickened slightly. Add in the vinegar and taste the seasoning, adjust if needed. Allow the mix to cool. 

In a bowl coat the prawns in the vindaloo paste. Place the prawns on the banana leaves and add the coriander and chilli. Wrap into parcels and tie or skewer to hold together. 

Cook in the oven or BBQ with the lid down for  12 –15 minutes. 

Once the prawns are cooked, place the parcels onto a platter with limes on the side to squeeze over the top. 

Serve with bread or rice to get the most out of the sauce. Also have loads of napkins ready when eating!
