Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Raw prawns, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, minced
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1.5 tablespoons Sriracha or chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 pieces Green onions, sliced
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
Rinse the prawns under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, honey, sriracha, lime juice, cornstarch, and water until smooth. This will be your glaze sauce.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and swirl to coat the pan.
Add the minced garlic and ginger to the skillet. Sauté for about 30 seconds or until fragrant.
Add the prawns to the skillet. Season with salt and black pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the prawns from the skillet and set them aside.
Pour the prepared glaze sauce into the same skillet. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy, about 2-3 minutes.
Return the cooked prawns to the skillet. Toss them in the glaze until they are well coated and heated through, about 1-2 minutes.
Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, if using.
Serve immediately with steamed rice, noodles, or a fresh salad.
