Method
To make the curry paste, blend all of the paste ingredients in a food processor, saving some of the coriander to garnish.
For the soup, bring the coconut milk and stock to the boil in a large pan.
Stir through the curry paste, then add the red pepper and sweetcorn, and simmer for 5 minutes.
Add the pak choi, sugar snap peas and king prawns, and cook for 3 minutes, or until the prawns are pink if using raw prawns.
Divide between four bowls. Garnish with the lime wedges and remaining coriander.
