Many of us have eaten lots of prawns throughout our lives. They form a good source of protein for us and they are low in fats and calories. However, not everyone can eat prawns as some are allergic to them. Two of my family members do not eat them, one of whom will have allergic reaction if he eats them and the other just do not like the prawn taste.
There are many ways of cooking prawns and one the easiest ways that I often do is to fry them and drizzle them with light soy sauce.
Ingredients:
- 5 to 6 pieces of large prawns (at least 4 to 5 inches in length)
- 2 inches ginger
- 4 cloves garlic
- Cooking oil
- Seasonings - pepper, salt and light soy sauce
Method:
- Cut off the tip of the head of the prawns, the antenna and legs. Wash, de-vein and dry them with kitchen towel.
- Peel, wash and julienne the ginger.
- Peel and chop the garlic.
- Heat up some cooking oil in a wok.
- Fry the ginger till crispy. Remove and set aside.
- Add the garlic and saute them till fragrant.
- Add the prawns. Fry them till they are cooked. Do not over-fry them; over-frying will cause them to be hard and dry.
- Add some pepper and salt (not too much) to the prawns. Stir.
- Remove the prawns and arrange them on a serving plate.
- Add light soy sauce into the remaining hot oil.
- Stir and drizzle over the prawns and topped them with the crispy ginger.
