Directions
Put shallot, cilantro leaves, coriander seeds, ginger and green chili pepper into a mortar and crush to make a curry paste.
Wash and trim the scallions (spring onions) and cut into rings.
Peel and chop the garlic.
Peel and deseed the pumpkin and cut into ½ inch (1cm cubes).
Heat the oil and sauté the scallions, ginger, garlic and pumpkin over a high heat for 4 to 5 minutes.
Stir in the coconut milk, curry paste and lemon juice, season with salt and pepper and simmer without a lid over a medium heat for about 5 minutes.
Check the seasoning, add the shrimp (prawns) and briefly return to a boil.
When the shrimp are cooked, serve in bowls with rice or bread.
