- When buying the pumpkin, make sure to select a firm one with no blemishes or soft spots.
- When purchasing the shrimp, check the label and make sure they are peeled and deveined.
- Replace the vegetable oil with olive oil for a healthier alternative. Olive oil is a healthier option as it is rich in monounsaturated fatty acids, which are beneficial for cardiovascular health.
- Replace the Thai red curry paste with mild yellow curry paste for a more mild flavour. The yellow curry paste is milder in flavour, making it more suitable for those who prefer a more subtle taste.
Vegetarian Version Replace the prawns with fried tofu cubes and substitute vegetable stock for the chicken stock.
