Our Keto curried prawns are dairy-free, with a rich, fragrant coconut sauce – and they taste even better the next day.

What Is The Difference Between Prawns And Shrimp?
No, shrimp and prawns are different. Prawns have claws on six of their legs, and shrimp have claws on four of their legs.
The second set of pincers is larger than the front ones on prawns, whereas shrimps’ front legs have larger pincers.
Some varieties of prawns grow much larger than shrimp, such as king prawns, tiger prawns, and banana prawns.
Do Shrimp and Prawns Taste The Same?
Many claims that prawns taste sweeter than shrimp, but we cannot taste the difference, particularly in a curry.
We’ve used prawns and shrimp in the same recipes depending mostly on where we are in the World.
When used in a curry, you certainly would not be able to tell any difference in the flavor of prawns or shrimp.
How To Store Curried Prawns or Shrimp
Store curried prawns or shrimp curry in the fridge for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat gently in the microwave or a saucepan over low heat until warm.

Comes together so quickly and very delicious! Not everyone in the family likes prawns, so I adapted this by reserving half of the completed curry (before the prawns get added) to serve with baked tofu for those people.
Great idea, Carla. Seafood is one of those things that people love or can’t swallow, I’ve made this recipe with chicken before as well.
Great recipe! Both the shrimp and the prawns went over well with the family. Cheers!
