How to Make Spiced Prawns
- Gently shell and devein 1 pound of prawns, leaving the tails intact for an elegant presentation.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the marinade ingredients: 2 tablespoons fish sauce, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 tablespoon lime juice, 1 teaspoon grated lime zest (or 1 stalk lemongrass, finely minced, and 2-3 kaffir lime leaves, finely chopped), 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional). Add the prawns, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or preferably overnight for maximum flavor.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated prawns in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes per side, until they turn pink and opaque. Avoid overcooking!
- Serve immediately over cooked rice noodles or jasmine rice. Garnish with fresh cilantro or green onions and a squeeze of extra lime juice, if desired.
