Recipe: Pan-fried Prawns (Fresh Water Prawns)/干烧虾
Ingredients:
6 fresh water prawns (or jumbo prawns or big prawns)
1 clove garlic (finely chopped)
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon rice wine or shaoxing wine
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon chopped scallions
1 teaspoon cooking oil
Method:
Heat up a wok with cooking oil. Drop in the chopped garlic and lightly saute till light brown. Add in the fresh water prawns, soy sauce, wine, sugar and do a few quick stir. Use the wok turner to press each prawn down (pan-frying) for both sides of the prawn. Add in the chopped scallions and serve hot.
Cook’s Note:
The wok will get really dry and the prawns might appear burned but it’s fine as it will add that “charred” flavor to the prawns.

Haha, I do not need much convincing ;) I love prawns and I eat them every chance I get! (i.e., when I have the money.) Yours looks really good!
yummy! love the pics…
Wow! I can feel the crisp from biting into one of those prawns in those pics of yours!
Love them! We don’t have fresh water prawns up here in Vancouver, not even frozen ones which is a real shame. I tried to eat them whenever I make a trip to Thailand. Yours look divine as usual!
Hey RM – Those look delicious. Too bad I didn’t have any of them to go with my Hokkien Mee. I don’t know what it’s supposed to taste like but I thought it was delicious. It was very prawny and sweet from the shallots. I added some extra chili oil to spice things up and ate bowl after bowl all last week.
I did take a quick break from noodles for some stir fried garlic chive buds. They were the first ones I had seen in the store this year and I thought of your recipe for them as soon as I did and couldn’t pass them up. They’re my new favorite vegetable!
just looking at that makes me want to eat it. Yummy!
woah so great looking! is that tiger prawn? I bet the head is filled with the “kou”
Wow, the prawns look so delicious! If only there’s something like e-tasting, then I could taste the food!
With something as great as prawns, a simple preparation like this is the best to let their natural flavors shine :) This sounds delicious!
Simple, but beautiful, refined and tasty!
Cheers,
