Hot And Spicy Prawns

There are many ways to cook prawns/shrimps.  I love them without their shell on and if they are fresh, I can eat many * roll eyes...ahem...but I am not permitted to eat freely as the other partner's eyes will be watchful during meal time when there is a prawn dish :)  So to guard my uncontrollable intake of seafood like prawns and crabs , I normally cook a small portion enough just for the two of us.  A simple stir fry with homemade chilli paste, garlic and spring onions and chilli padi.   So easy to whip up and I wish I could have the whole plate to myself :p  Fresh prawns will give you a natural sweetness and sea water scent and the texture will be springy. Love love this simple and mouth watering hot spicy prawns.

so succulent and springy...mmm nom nom
