Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, lime juice, cornstarch, and water to make the sauce. Set aside.
Pat the prawns dry with a paper towel and season them with salt and black pepper.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and chopped red chili. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the prawns to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until they turn pink and opaque. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
Pour the prepared sauce into the same skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until it thickens slightly.
Return the cooked prawns to the skillet and toss them in the sauce until evenly coated.
Remove from heat, garnish with chopped spring onions, and serve hot. Enjoy Chilli Garlic Prawns as a standalone dish or with rice or noodles.
