Hot Pepper Prawns

 

 

What you need

Medium Prawns (shell removed and deveined) - 150 gm

Butter - 1-2 tbsp

Black pepper, freshly ground (coarse) - 2-3 tsp

Garlic - minced - 2 tsp

Thai bird chillies - finely sliced - 1 tsp (omit this if you can't take the heat)

Light soy sauce - 2 tsp

Dark soy sauce - 2 tsp

Oyster sauce - 1 tbsp

Chicken stock or water - 2 tbsp

How to make it

Heat a wok till it's medium hot. (Very hot will burn the butter, so be careful.)

Add the butter and wait till it starts foaming. Then add the garlic, pepper and chillies. Stir-fry for about 10-20 seconds.

Add the prawns and stir-fry for another 30 seconds.

Now add the light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, and chicken stock. Turn up the heat to high and stir-fry for another 30 seconds. Let the sauces thicken but not burn.

Your prawns should be done. Check if the flesh is opaque. If in doubt, under-cook rather than overcook them.

Um, that's all there is to it. This is a 3-minute recipe. Enjoy it while it's hot.
