Udang Masak Merah

My hubby not in favour of too much prawns in his diet.  Here I cooked only half portion of the recipe below. I believe this is a good recipe so I must cooked it and share with all.
The original recipe does not have pineapples but I add some cos' I like it with the masak merah paste that makes it sweet.  Very tasty sweet and sourish curry sauce goes well with steaming hot rice.

  6. Hi Kimmy,

    I'm surprise knowing that your husband didn't like prawns... I can't eat prawns due to my allergy and cook them with minimal contact for my husband and kids. Your Udang masak merah looks delicious :D

  8. Hi Phong Hong, It's quite like sambal prawns minus the belacan and assam juice. The taste is sourish sweet and spicy.

  16. Hi Lite Home Bake, the pineapples are sweet and absorbed the flavours of the curry paste.

  17. Hi Kimmy,
    Your masak merah must be very special with the addition of pineapple. I could have extra bowl of steam rice with the curry gravy only!!
