½ teaspoon [easyazon_link identifier="B0001EJ4CU" locale="US" tag="nomrec-20" localize="y"]dark soy sauce[/easyazon_link]
Instructions
Clean and pat dry the tiger prawns in a large mixing bowl, add 1 tablespoon corn starch and mix
Heat pan over medium high heat, add 1 tablespoon peanut oil and 1 teaspoon unsalted butter to the pan
Add minced garlic, stir and cook until it is almost golden color, then remove garlic and set aside
Pan-seared tiger prawns in the garlic butter infused peanut oil for 1 ½ minute on each side, cook until roughly 80% cooked, remove and set aside
Add 1 tablespoon peanut oil
Add minced shallot, minced ginger and sliced onions
Add a small pinch of salt (~1/4 teaspoon) and cook until onions are softened
Add back the cooked garlic and tiger prawns, stir
Add rice wine, continue to stir
Add Sauce Mixture and continue to stir until the sauce is evenly coated
Add green onion, stir
Cook roughly 1 minute or until the tiger prawns are fully cooked, then serve!
Notes
Do not use peeled prawns for this recipe because the shell of the prawns are needed to protect the texture of the meat during the cooking process. It will take longer for the unpeeled prawns to be fully cooked, thus allowing them to soak in more flavors and result in a crunchy and bouncy texture.
