Ingredients
- 500 grams Raw prawns, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, minced
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1.5 tablespoons Sriracha or chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 pieces Green onions, sliced
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional)
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 the soy sauce, honey, sriracha, lime juice, cornstarch, and water until smooth. This will be your glaze sauce.
Step 3
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and swirl to coat the pan.
Step 4
Add the minced garlic and ginger to the skillet. Sauté for about 30 seconds or until fragrant.
Step 5
Add the prawns to the skillet. Season with salt and black pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the prawns from the skillet and set them aside.
Step 6
Pour the prepared glaze sauce into the same skillet. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 7
Return the cooked prawns to the skillet. Toss them in the glaze until they are well coated and heated through, about 1-2 minutes.
Step 8
Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, if using.
Step 9
Serve immediately with steamed rice, noodles, or a fresh salad.
