We love a hearty curry here at Good Housekeeping and one of our favourite proteins to add into this flavoursome dish is prawns! They cook in minutes, and have such a great meaty texture - perfect if you're looking to cut down on your meat intake.

Our quickest prawn curry in our favourites can be on the table in 20 minutes and we even have a four-ingredient prawn curry with a secret hack that elevates the dish in minutes!

If you have longer to spend we'd also recommend our fragrant Goan fish curry, which includes prawns and monkish, and takes 1 hour but is totally worth it.
