Ingredients

• 500 grams large prawns, peeled and deveined
• 2 teaspoons black pepper, freshly cracked
• 1 teaspoon white pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons red chili flakes
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 2 stalks green onions, chopped (for garnish)
• 1 lemon wedge (for serving)
• 0.5 teaspoons salt

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the prawns under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Set aside.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together the black pepper, white pepper, chili flakes, and salt.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil and butter. Allow the butter to melt completely.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and ginger to the skillet. Sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant.

Step 5

Toss the prawns into the skillet and spread them out evenly to ensure even cooking.

Step 6

Sprinkle the pepper mixture over the prawns and stir well to coat them evenly in the spices. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side.

Step 7

Flip the prawns over and drizzle the soy sauce around the skillet. Stir again and cook for another 2-3 minutes or until the prawns turn pink and opaque.

Step 8

Once cooked, remove the prawns from the skillet and transfer them to a serving plate.

Step 9

Garnish the prawns with chopped green onions and serve immediately with a lemon wedge on the side for a fresh citrusy touch.
