How to Make Spicy Prawns In White Wine Sauce

  1. Clean, shell, and devein 1 pound of prawns.
  2. Lightly sprinkle prawns with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a wok or large skillet over medium heat.
  4. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and 1-2 finely chopped red chilies (adjust to your spice preference). Stir-fry until fragrant (about 30 seconds).
  5. Add the prawns to the wok and cover with a lid. Cook for 2-3 minutes over low heat.
  6. Briefly lift the lid, pour in 1/2 cup of dry white wine (such as Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio), and cover again. Continue to cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly and the prawns are pink and cooked through.
  7. Stir in 1 tablespoon of butter (optional, for extra richness) and 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh parsley.
  8. Sprinkle with an additional 1/4 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper.
  9. Serve immediately with crusty bread or as an appetizer with a side salad.
