Instructions: Put the first 10 ingredients into a food processor or blender and grind together to form a smooth paste. (You may need a little water to help).

In a wok or large pan, bring the dissolved coconut cream to the boil. Add the ground spice mixture and cook over a low heat for 10 minutes, until a film of oil appears around the edge of the pan.

Add the shrimp or anchovy paste, the prawns and the cucumber. Cook gently for 3-4 minutes if the prawns are cooked, or for 10 minutes if they are raw.

Stir well and garnish with the chopped coriander, serve immediately with Thai Fragrant rice.

NOTES : A tasty quick and easy supper with an authentic Thai flavour.
