Garlic Prawns in Chilli Sauce recipe

If seafood and spicy is your thing, like me, then this dish will surely come as a tasty treat:

Ingredients:

1 kg raw king prawns
2 cloves garlic, crushed
2 tbsps peanut oil
3 tsps grated fresh ginger
1 stick celery, diced
1 red pepper, seeded and diced
1 tbsp sweet chilli sauce
1 tbsp hoisin sauce
2 tbsps lime juice
1 tsp sugar

Procedure:

1. Peel and devein the prawns, leaving the tails intact. (If you’re the lazy type too, why not buy your prawns raw-peeled-and-deveined? They have these at the frozen section of the supermarket. Thank goodness!) Place the prawns in a non-metallic bowl and mix in the garlic. Set aside.
2. Heat a wok and add 1 tablespoon oil. Add the ginger, celery and red pepper and cook until softened. Remove from the wok. Heat the remaining tablespoon oil and add the prawns. Cook over high heat until bright pink and cooked through. Spoon the celery and red pepper mixture back into the wok with the prawns and add the chilli sauce, hoisin sauce, lime juice and sugar. Season to taste with black pepper. Heat through for a minute or so then serve with steamed rice.

Happy cooking!
