INGREDIENTS
For the Prawns:
- 500g raw prawns (frozen)
- 1 tsp salt
- 3–4 tbsp Lee Kum Kee Chilli Garlic Sauce
- 2 tbsp cooking oil
- 1 spring onion, thinly sliced on an angle
For the Dipping Sauce:
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tsp Lee Kum Kee Chiu Chow Style Chilli Oil
INSTRUCTIONS
Defrost the Prawns: Place frozen prawns in a large bowl and cover with cold water and salt. Leave for 30 minutes or until fully defrosted. Drain, rinse, and pat dry with a paper towel.
Coat the Prawns: In a separate bowl, mix the prawns with the chilli garlic sauce until well coated.
Cook the Prawns: Heat a pan, griddle, or barbecue over medium heat. Add the prawns and cook for 1–2 minutes until they turn pink. Be careful not to overcook.
Prepare the Dipping Sauce: While the prawns cook, mix the mayonnaise with the Chiu Chow Style Chilli Oil in a small bowl.
Serve: Arrange the cooked prawns on a platter, top with spring onion, and serve alongside the chilli mayo for dipping
