Chili Garlic Prawns


Me and my Hubby are in our Seafood Mood yesterday
so I made this dish.
The combination of the garlic and chili flavors
complement the prawns perfectly.
Nothing to worry... the chilies are not really "fiery"
just a little "kick"... that's the trick ☺


You will need:

  • 100g butter, salted
  • 2 tablespoon Olive oil
  • 3 cloves Garlic, crushed and thinly sliced
  • 3 red cayenne chilies, thinly sliced *
  • 1kL Prawns, head removed (tail intact), peeled and deveined
  • Fish Sauce (patis) or salt if desired

Preparation:

Step 1: Melt butter and olive oil in a deep frying pan over med-high heat.

Step 2: Add garlic and chilies. Cook, stirring for a minute or until fragrant.

Step 3: Add prawns, Cook, stirring occasionally for 2-3 minutes or until prawns are pink. Be 
              careful NOT to overcook the prawns or they will get tough. Season, if desired.

Step 4: Serve over hot rice or on a sizzling plate if serving as an appetizer.


* Pinoy Substitute for Cayenne Chilies:
  --> 2 red chili peppers (siling labuyo) or less (depending on your desired spiciness)  + 
3 finger chilies (siling haba)




Cook's tip:
- When working with chilies, use kitchen gloves to avoid skin irritation.
- For less "fire", remove the membrane and seeds from chilies.
- Green chilies are generally milder than red.
