Pan-fried Garlic Soy Prawns Recipe

Saturday, November 30, 2013 | Labels: , |

It's been awhile since I cooked prawns, mainly because my dining partner has discovered that he has ultra high cholesterol! Anyhow, these prawns were cooked for myself as I was craving some so I made them as simple as I could.  Sometimes, when you're cooking for one, too much hassle seems just a bit too much eh?  Peeling garlic however is one of my least favourite things to do in the kitchen so I sometimes peel and slice in bulk, just keep them in an airtight container in the fridge and they should last for at least 2 weeks.

For today's recipe, you can add a splash of Chinese rice wine or sake if you wish, however I didn't do so today and the prawns were still great - I usually eat them shell and all since the shells are already crispy.  Just add some salt and a splash of light soy sauce for marinating before shallow frying.  I like to add a tablespoon of corn starch as well to crisp the prawns up during frying.
