Slow Cooker Red Thai Prawn Noodles
A warming noodle dish, simply spiced with red Thai curry paste and lime leaves, with plenty of cooling coconut milk. Perfect for an easy crowd-pleasing midweek dinner.
Introduction
This is such a versatile dish – you can easily adjust it to your preferred flavours! Feel free to add whatever vegetables you have in the fridge. I love to use peppers in this dish, but you could also use sugar snap peas, broccoli, spinach or even asparagus – the list is endless. I use frozen prawns, but you could use fresh prawns, too.
