Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Prawns (large, deveined, with or without shell)
- 4 pieces Garlic cloves (minced)
- 2 pieces Red chili (finely chopped)
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
Clean and devein the prawns if not done already. Rinse them under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, prepare the sauce by mixing soy sauce, honey, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Set aside.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and chopped red chili. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the prawns to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until they turn pink, then flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side.
Pour the prepared sauce over the prawns, stirring well to coat them evenly. Cook for 1-2 more minutes, allowing the sauce to slightly thicken.
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the prawns to a serving dish.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately. Enjoy your Garlic Chili Prawns as-is or with steamed rice or crusty bread.
