The Story Behind the Dish
Goa's coastline supplies an abundance of prawns, and prawn curry with coconut is a fixture of both home kitchens and beach shacks.
The gravy shares its base with Goan fish curry: fresh coconut or coconut milk, red chilies and a sour note from tamarind or kokum.
⭐ Why It's Famous
Creamy, tangy and mildly spicy, Goan prawn curry is a seafood lover's dream.
💡 Fun Fact
Goan cooks often add the prawn heads and shells to the gravy while it simmers for an extra-deep seafood flavour.
