Method
step 1
Finely shred or slice the cucumber, mix the white wine vinegar with a good pinch of sugar and toss this with the cucumber.
step 2
Halve the squashes and scoop out the seeds, fit the halves back together and microwave for 10 mins on a high power – this should almost cook them through (give them a few more minutes if they need it). Put the squash halves on a baking tray.
step 3
Heat the red curry paste with the coconut cream, and add a splash of fish sauce. Spoon some sauce into each squash half, leaving the rest in the pan (use about half) and bake at 200C/180C/gas 4 for 10 mins. Add the prawns to the sauce in the pan, stir to coat and then add them to the squash hollows. Bake for 5 mins.
step 4
Scatter with coriander and squeeze over some lime juice before serving with the cucumber and some jasmine rice.
