Recipe: Salt & Pepper Prawns
1. clean and season prawns with salt and white/black pepper
make sure prawns are not wet - i left them in the fridge for 2-3 hours to "dry"
2. in a hot pan with some oil or lard, pan fry prawns till it smells like bbq
turn prawns only after the shell changes colour and smells like it's been grilled
3. when prawn shells change to a red/orange colour, add onions and chopped garlic
4. (pan is still hot) stir fry onions and garlic with "grilled" prawns
5. sprinkle some salt and pepper, then stir fry to mix everything for a few more seconds
6. serve hot

Prawn Noodle Soup (Nonya style) - homecooked


home made prawn omelette!!


i also steam prawns and have a homemade dip to go with them.
used to buy 1-2kg live prawns and steam them when i reach home. live glass prawns used to cost something like $12 to $16 per kg. i steam the prawns with no salt or seasoning (sometimes with chinese wine) and make a simple dip to go with my live prawns.

since i'm too lazy to write down and take pics for steamed prawns, here is a ref video:
