Ingredients
- 500 g Prawns (peeled and deveined)
- 3 tbsp Honey
- 100 ml Orange juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 tsp Orange zest
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 tbsp Soy sauce
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 0.25 tsp Red chili flakes (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the prawns under cold water, pat them dry with paper towels, and set aside.
Step 2
In a small mixing bowl, combine honey, orange juice, orange zest, minced garlic, soy sauce, salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes (if using). Stir well to form the marinade.
Step 3
Add the prawns to the bowl and toss to coat them evenly. Let them marinate for 10 minutes at room temperature.
Step 4
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 5
Remove the prawns from the marinade (reserve the marinade) and add them to the hot skillet. Sear the prawns for 2 minutes on each side until they turn pink and lightly golden. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
Step 6
Pour the reserved marinade into the skillet and bring it to a simmer. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy.
Step 7
Return the seared prawns to the skillet and toss them in the thickened sauce, allowing the prawns to heat through and get caramelised.
Step 8
Transfer the prawns to a serving plate, drizzle any remaining sauce over the top, and garnish with chopped parsley.
Step 9
Serve immediately with steamed rice, crusty bread, or a fresh salad on the side.
