Thai Style Prawn Pancakes

I saw something similar in one of my magazines and thought it sounded nice.  When I went to look for the recipe again I couldn’t find it anywhere so this is my version of Thai Style Prawn Pancakes.  They were really nice but I think that this recipe can definitely be improved upon.

Ingredients:

1 x Tablespoon Oil

¼ Onion

2 x Tablespoons Thai Green Curry Paste

½ Cup Coconut Cream

2 x Cups Prawns

¼ Cup Mealies (Sweet Corn)

4 x Pancakes (made in advance)

Method:

Heat the oil in a pot.

Add the prawns and cook for about 3 mins.

Add the Thai Green Curry Paste and cook for an additional 3 mins.

Add the Coconut Milk and mealie (sweet corn) and reduce heat to a gentle simmer.

Once done, remove from the heat and start to assemble.

To Assemble

Place a pancake on a plate.

Spoon some of the prawn mixture, including the sauce, onto the pancake.

Fold to form a parcel.

Please Note:

I added Mealies to mine because I had some left over.  You can leave them out or add another vegetable.  The choice is yours.
