Directions

To Prep

1. Clean the prawns and then cut off the whiskers and horn.
2. Without removing the shell, take out the veins by using a toothpick placed under the shell and then slowly pulling up.

To Cook

1. In a dry frying pan, roast salt and pepper until fragrant. Remove from the heat and add sugar, mix and set aside.
2. In a pot, heat oil to 180°C.
3. Coat prawns in corn starch and shake off the excess before frying in the oil. Fry the prawns for about 1-2 minutes, then transferring to a plate with paper towel to absorb the excess oil.
4. In a wok, heat up 1 tbsp oil and add the chilli, onions and garlic.
5. Sauté until fragrant before adding the deep-fried prawns and the salt and pepper mix.
6. Toss lightly until combined and then serve.
