Vindaloo Prawn

A Goan fiery prawn curry sharpened with vinegar and chilli — fast to cook and intensely flavoured. Marinating the prawns in half the spice paste for twenty minutes before they're added is what lets the vindaloo's sharp, vinegary heat actually penetrate the flesh rather than just coating it.
