Shemin's Massaman Curry Paste

Shemin’s Massaman Curry Paste is made in small batches using fresh herbs, spices and our original family recipe. We combine Thai ingredients like lemongrass and galangal with warming spices including cloves, cinnamon and cardamom. It creates a rich, comforting curry with layers of flavour that develop as it cooks.

Ingredients

  • 500g raw king prawns, peeled and deveined
  • 50g (or to taste) – Shemin’s Indian / Goan / Massaman / Seafood Curry Paste (see tips)
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1 fresh red chilli, finely sliced (optional)
  • Fresh coriander to serve
  • Salt to taste

How to make Chilli Garlic Butter Prawns

  1. Marinate the Prawns: Toss the prawns with Shemin’s Curry Paste, juice of one lemon and a pinch of salt. Let marinate for 10–15 minutes while your BBQ heats up.
  2. Make the Garlic Butter: In a small pan, melt the butter with crushed garlic and sliced chilli until fragrant (do not burn).
  3. Grill the Prawns: Skewer the prawns or place them in a BBQ basket. Grill for 2–3 minutes per side until pink and lightly charred.
  4. Finish & Serve: Brush the prawns generously with the garlic butter as they cook. Sprinkle with fresh coriander before serving.

Tips

Tips:

  • Try Different Pastes – Use Shemin’s Goan or Seafood Paste for a lighter, coastal flavour or Massaman Paste for a warm aromatic twist. Use less curry paste if you don’t want it to come out too strong. r
  • Make it a Meal – Serve with warm tortillas and slaw for BBQ prawn tacos.
  • Add a Fresh Hit – Serve with lime wedges and a mango salsa on the side.
  • Batch Friendly – Skewer in advance and brush with butter on the BBQ for effortless entertaining.

My husband enjoys all the pickles but we have to buy Lime pickle elsewhere. Is this something that might be offered in the future.
