Method
Cut the pineapple into bite-sized chunks and tear the makrut lime leaves, discarding the central stem.
Spoon the coconut cream into a wok and heat gently until it begins to separate and glisten.
Add the curry paste and fry, stirring constantly, for 4 minutes until deeply fragrant and the oil has split from the paste.
Stir in the prawns and cook for 3 minutes until they turn pink and opaque.
Pour in the coconut milk, add the pineapple and torn makrut lime leaves, and bring to a gentle simmer.
Simmer for 8 minutes until the pineapple is tender and the curry has thickened slightly.
Season with the fish sauce and palm sugar, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
Scatter with the Thai basil and sliced red chilli, and serve hot.
