Given a choice my kids would like nothing but prawns for breakfast, lunch & dinner. I am sharing a very simple recipe that has become a favorite once-a-week (atleast) dish at home.
Garlic Stir Fried Prawns
Ingredients:
2 Pounds Prawns (deveined, tails cut):
1.5 tablespoons Freshly crushed Garlic (or garlic paste):
1-2 Very finely chopped green chilies, depending on your spice level.
1.5 tablespoon White Vinegar:
½ tablespoon Soy Sauce:
½ tea spoon: MSG (optional. Although I do tend to use it for all stir fries):
2 table spoons: Oil
Salt to taste
Method:
1. Wash & clean the prawns as needed. Defrost if using frozen.
2. Mix the vinegar, soy sauce, garlic and salt in a bowl.
3. Add prawns to it. Let them marinate for about 1 hour.
4. Heat the oil in a wok. Add prawns along with its marinade and the MSG.
5. Keep stirring on a high flame for about 3-5 minutes.Don’t overcook the prawns, they lose their texture.
6. Serve Hot.
Note: Adding ginger paste or thinly sliced ginger (same quantity as garlic) also gives this dish a distinctive flavor.
