tiger prawns

10-minute tiger prawns in garlic ginger soy sauce is juicy, tender and immersed in incredible Asian flavours. It's the perfect weeknight meal.

Tiger Prawns in Garlic Ginger Soy Sauce

olive oil

ginger,

garlic, minced

prawns,

Chinese cooking wine

soy sauce

sugar

black pepper (optional)

water

cilantro,

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ginger and garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add tiger prawns and stir to coat with oil. Continue to cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly to ensure even cooking on all sides.

Stir in cooking wine and continue to stir for 15 seconds. Stir in soy sauce and reduce heat to medium. Cook for 1 minute, stirring occasionally.

Stir in sugar, pepper (optional) and water. Turn heat to high, cover and cook for 2 minutes.

Turn heat down to low, give the prawns a final stir, ensuring that the sauce is coating prawns completely. Remove from heat. (Note: prawns will be done once they are evenly coloured and have shrunk in size but are no longer getting smaller).

This was absolutely gorgeous. The flavour mix really complemented the prawns.  My mix came out a little stickier with the sugar (me, not the recipe!!) but that made it more fun eating them with our fingers !!!!! haha!!

Just cooked this for my wife, who's Shanghainese, for our anniversary dinner and she said it tasted like her dad's cooking, which is a huge compliment.  Thanks for the recipe!

My newest favorite recipe. It tastes better than what you get at a Chinese restuarant.

This was like a dish you'd get in a high end Chinese restaurant - but better!  My girlfriend and I saved the sauce after cooking and used it for dipping/dressing for some steamed rice.  Soooo good.

This was delicious, but a bit salty. Serving it over rice, and adding the cilantro definitely helped.  But if you plan on eating it without any starch accompaniments, you might want to cut back on the soy sauce, or dilute it a bit. I will be making this one again!!! Thank you!
