Ingredients

• 500 grams large prawns, peeled and deveined
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium red onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
• 2 pieces green chili, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 400 grams canned diced tomatoes
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon cumin powder
• 1 teaspoon coriander powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh coriander leaves, chopped
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the finely chopped red onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the diced red bell pepper and green chili, and continue to sauté for another 3 minutes until the peppers start to soften.

Step 5

Mix in the tomato paste, canned diced tomatoes, smoked paprika, cumin powder, coriander powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir everything together until well combined.

Step 6

Allow the sauce to simmer on low heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 7

In a separate pan, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat.

Step 8

Add the prawns to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and opaque.

Step 9

Transfer the cooked prawns into the skillet with the simmering sauce. Stir to coat the prawns evenly in the sauce.

Step 10

Let the prawns and sauce simmer together for another 2-3 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Step 11

Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice.

Step 12

Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves before serving.
