Steamed garlic prawns
Recently I won 1 kg of king prawns from Gofresh after taking part in a cooking contest. So I decided to steam these big prawns to test out the texture. It was so yummy that my family give thumbs up. Even my kids attempted to try this dish even though they do not eat prawns.
Ingredients
~ 10 big king prawns
~ 3 tablespoon of Hua Tiao Chiew
~ 1 tablespoon of olive oil
~ 5 Cloves of garlic
~ 1 teaspoon of black pepper
~ 1 Tablespoon of light soya sauce
~ A handful of wolf berries
~ A stalk of celery
Methods
~ With a pair of sharp kitchen scissors, remove the whiskers and the legs. Gently butterfly the prawns with scissors and remove the veins. Be careful not to cut too deep to avoid cutting the prawn into half. Place the prawns on a heat proof deep dish plate.
~ Chop the garlic into small bits and stir fry till crispy in olive oil.
~ While waiting for garlic to cool down, place a steam rack inside a large work or pot, fill with water, and bring it to rapid boil. .
~ Then spoon the crispy garlic into each prawn.
~ Mixed the seasoning together and pour onto the prawns
~ Cover and steam on high flame for about 5-6 mins
~ Do not over steam or you will get rubbery texture.
~ Lastly serve hot and garnish with greens of your choice.
