Instructions
Rinse the prawns thoroughly under cold water and pat dry with a kitchen towel.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the lemongrass, mint leaves, garlic, ginger, red chili, soy sauce, fish sauce, lime juice, and honey. Mix well to create the marinade.
Add the prawns to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for 15–30 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add sesame oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the marinated prawns to the skillet. Cook for 2–3 minutes on each side, or until the prawns are pink, opaque, and cooked through.
Remove the prawns from the skillet and transfer them to a serving plate.
Sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped cilantro for garnish. Serve immediately and enjoy!
