Ingredients
- 500 g Prawns / shrimp, raw (peeled)
- 3 Garlic cloves (very finely minced)
- 2 tsp Ginger (grated or finely chopped)
- Green onions (finely sliced)
- Red chillies (finely sliced or chopped)
- 3 tbsp Six-Eyed Scorpion's Crispy Chilli Oil
- 2 tsp soy sauce
- 1 1/2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 3 tbsp brown sugar
- 1/2 cup (125 ml) water
Directions
- Warm oil in a spacious pan over a high flame. Fry half of the prawns for roughly 45 seconds on each side until they take on a golden hue, then transfer them to a bowl. Repeat with the remaining prawns.
- Remove the pan from the heat momentarily to let it slightly cool, then adjust the heat to medium.
- Place the pan back on the hot plate, introduce the sesame oil.
- Add in the garlic, ginger, and chilli flakes, cooking until the garlic adopts a golden shade.
- Pour in water, followed by Six-Eyed Scorpion's Crispy Chilli Oil, soy sauce, and sugar. Stir the mixture, elevate the heat to medium-high, and allow it to simmer for about 3 minutes, or until the sauce begins to achieve a syrup-like consistency.
- Re-introduce the prawns to the pan, ensuring they're well-coated in the sauce and reheated. Let them cook for another 1-2 minutes, ensuring the sauce thickly clings to them.
- Optionally, sprinkle with fresh chillies, and shallots. It pairs perfectly with steamed rice to savour every drop of the delightful sauce!
