Thank you. I am happy you think it looks elaborate. I can assure you it wasn't. It took around twenty minutes for the rice to cook, during which time I cooked the rest. (That doesn't include defrosting time). Normally, I do curries much more slowly, but when you get home at 8 pm after leaving home at 6 am and have hardly eaten all day, you can find shortcuts.
Live prawns / shrimp are "usual" here. Pre-frozen are available, but unusual, and usually poor quality. These ones were described as being wild caught and I trust my delightful seafood provider.
I would say yes, I can taste a difference. Fresher. Just more prawn flavour, I guess.
