Garlic Chili Prawns
A firey & delicious Asian inspired prawn dish.
PREPARATION TIME: 10 MIN COOKING TIME: 15 MIN TOTAL TIME: 25 MIN
INGREDIENTS
marinade
- 250 g/0.5 lbs cleaned prawns
- 1/4 tsp Pepper
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 2 Tbsp Arrowroot or Tapioca flour
- 2 Tbsp Avocado Oil (for cooking)
Sauce
- 1 Tbsp Avocado Oil
- 3 garlic cloves, chopped
- 1 Red or Green chili, roughly chopped
- 1/2 Bell-pepper chopped into 1-2 inch pieces
- 1/4 cup chopped Spring Onions, whites and greens separated.
- 1 Onion chopped into 1-inch pieces
- 3 Tbsp of my quick chili sauce
- 1 Tbsp Coconut Aminos
- 2 tsp White Vinegar or Black Vinegar
- 2 Tbsp water
- Salt & Pepper to taste
INSTRUCTIONS
- In a bowl, combine the cleaned and dried prawns with the other marinade ingredients (except Oil). Mix everything well and set aside for 10 mins. This helps the excess moisture from the prawns to be released.
- Heat the 2 Tbsp avocado oil in a pan and fry the prawns on medium heat. Be careful not to overcook them. Nothing worse than rubbery prawns.
- Remove the prawns onto a paper-towel-lined plate. The prawns should be slightly crisp
- Clear up the pan and add 1 Tbsp more oil. Sauté the garlic until fragrant. Add chilies, capsicum, and onion cubes and whites of the spring onions. Sprinkle with a little salt.
- Sauté everything on a medium-high flame, for about 2 minutes until the bell peppers are half cooked and still crunchy.
- Add chili sauce, coconut aminos, vinegar and pepper, and 2 Tbsps of water.
- Mix and allow the sauces to bubble. Taste and add adjust to your liking.
- Switch off the stove and add the prawns.
- Toss well and add the greens of the spring onion.
