- Meanwhile, heat oil in a nonstick wok over medium-high heat. Add prawns. Cook for 1-2 minutes or until prawns are just browned. Transfer to a plate. Add onion and reduce heat to medium. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 4-5 minutes or until onion starts to soften. Add curry paste and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add water, coconut milk and cauliflower. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Add zucchini to wok. Simmer, covered, for 2 minutes or until zucchini is almost cooked. Add snow peas and prawns. Cook, partially covered, for 2 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
