Servings: 2 people
Calories: 260kcal
Equipment
- Wok
Ingredients
- 16 large raw king prawns (jumbo shrimp) left whole and unpeeled
- 1 medium white onion finely diced
- 5 garlic cloves finely chopped or grated
- 1 green pepper finely diced
- 4 tbsp salted butter
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp white pepper
Method
- Carefully cut a slit along the back of each prawn and remove the digestive tract. Rinse under cold water, drain and set to one side.
- Place your wok over a medium-high heat. Once hot, add the oil and swirl around the pan to warm, then add the diced onion and fry for 30 seconds, followed by the garlic; continue to fry for 20 seconds. Next add the green pepper and after 30 seconds add the drained whole king prawns. Continue stir-frying for two minutes, by which time the prawns should have started to turn pink.
- Add the butter and evenly sprinkle in the sugar, salt and pepper. Mix well and fry for a further two to three minutes until the prawns are cooked through. Serve and enjoy.
