Chili Garlic Prawn Stir-Fry , 15-Minute Spicy Prawns

Method

Pat the prawns dry with kitchen paper. Toss them in a bowl with the Fire Chili Powder, Bold Black Pepper, and a pinch of salt.

Heat the vegetable oil in a wok or large frying pan over the highest heat until smoking.

Add the prawns in a single layer and sear for 1 minute without moving them, then flip and cook for another minute.

Push the prawns to the side, add the sesame oil and sliced garlic, and stir-fry for 30 seconds.

Toss everything together, add the soy sauce and sliced red chili, and cook for a further 30 seconds until the prawns are pink and curled.

Squeeze the lime juice over the top and scatter with fresh coriander.

Tips

• Ensure the wok is very hot before adding the prawns. A screaming hot pan gives the best sear and prevents steaming.
• Adjust the heat level by using more or less Fire Chili Powder to suit your preference.
• Frozen prawns work well too. Defrost fully and pat completely dry before cooking.

Serving Suggestions

Serve over steamed jasmine rice or toss through cooked egg noodles for a complete meal. Add a side of stir-fried pak choi or tender stem broccoli for extra greens.
