Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams large prawns, peeled and deveined
- 2 teaspoons black pepper, freshly cracked
- 1 teaspoon white pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons red chili flakes
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 stalks green onions, chopped (for garnish)
- 1 lemon wedge (for serving)
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
Instructions
Rinse the prawns under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Set aside.
In a small bowl, mix together the black pepper, white pepper, chili flakes, and salt.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil and butter. Allow the butter to melt completely.
Add the minced garlic and ginger to the skillet. Sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
Toss the prawns into the skillet and spread them out evenly to ensure even cooking.
Sprinkle the pepper mixture over the prawns and stir well to coat them evenly in the spices. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side.
Flip the prawns over and drizzle the soy sauce around the skillet. Stir again and cook for another 2-3 minutes or until the prawns turn pink and opaque.
Once cooked, remove the prawns from the skillet and transfer them to a serving plate.
Garnish the prawns with chopped green onions and serve immediately with a lemon wedge on the side for a fresh citrusy touch.
