Red Curry is quite versatile you can literally use them on any protein or vegetable you like. Prawn, Pork and Squash in Red Curry is a Thai inspired red curry dish prepared with prawns, pork and squash with coconut milk, like any typical Thai dish its sweet, salty, hot and sour.

Having a Red curry paste in the fridge is quite handy, and that holds true for any Thai curry paste whether is yellow, green, panang or massaman, basically all you need is a protein and a few staples then you will have a very tasty dish in front of you. We keep curry paste in the fridge most of the times, it is a time saving ingredient that is good to have, I use it once in a while when I ran out of ideas and use anything I have on the freezer and/or vegetable bin, it’s so versatile. When used with seafood, cooking them becomes even faster, in just 15 minutes you are done.

Today we will be using this red curry paste with some leftover pork belly that I have on the freezer and since it’s not enough we also added some leftover prawns and squash, then a bit of lime juice and sugar. It is a fiesta for the palate, all the basic Thai taste are covered, its sweet, salty, hot and sour, a perfect balance of flavours that is perfect with a freshly cooked Jasmine rice.
