How to Make Spicy Glazed Prawns

  1. Peel and devein 1 pound of prawns, leaving tails on.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon sriracha (or more, to taste), 1 teaspoon grated ginger, and 1 clove minced garlic.
  3. Add the prawns to the marinade and toss to coat. Marinate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 30 minutes for maximum flavor).
  4. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  5. Add the marinated prawns and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until pink and cooked through.
  6. Pour any remaining marinade into the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
  7. Garnish with chopped green onions (optional) and serve immediately over steamed rice.
