Black Pepper Prawns

This recipe is a winner, I must share it with you. Each time I make this, they are whipped up while they are hot and saucy. My boys love it.

 

Ingredients:

10-12 pcs of large prawns, shelled and deveined
1 spring curry leaves
2 tbsps oil
fresh coriander for garnish

The Sauce:
3 tbsps oil
4 cloves garlic, chopped (cos I love garlic!)
1 stalk of spring onions
1 tsp chilli paste (store bought or homemade)
1 tbsp miso paste
1 tbsp ginger, chopped
1 tbsp ketchup manis or sweet sauce
1 tbsp oyster sauce
2 tbsps feshly cracked black pepper (spiciness to your taste)
1 cup seafood stock (store bought or homemade)
50g butter
1 tbsp cornstarch in 2 tbsps water

Steps:

In a saucepan, heat up some oil. 

Fry half the chopped garlic, curry leaves and prawns. This will be rather quick as the prawn cooks fast, and you don't want to burn the garlic. Remove the prawns when they change colour. Set aside.

Add in a little more oil, and fry the rest of the garlic and spring onions.
Add in the chilli paste, miso paste and ginger, stir a little.
Add in the ketchup, oyster sauce and black pepper to your taste preference.
Add in the stock and butter, for extra flavour.

Add in the cornstach as a thickening agent, and stir well.
Add in the prawns and stir well to mix the sauce evenly.
Garnish with fresh coriander and serve hot.

Hope you try this recipe. Enjoy!
