Stir-fry Garlic Prawns in Oyster Sauce

Stir-fry Garlic Prawns in Oyster Sauce

This dish is very similar with a recipe that I have shared earlier, Stir-fry Prawns in Oyster Sauce and Black Pepper. This time, I have cooked this dish without black pepper and it tastes "sweeter" with lesser taste of spice. This dish goes very well with rice too! Seafood lovers, you will like this.

Tips and Comments:

• The easiest way to devein a prawns while keeping the shell is by using a kitchen scissor. Cut the back of the shell starting from the head end to the tail. Then use a small knife to devein.
• Fry prawns 1st to force out the sweetness of the prawns. Do not discard the oil after frying, as it will make a good gravy. Hence, is recommended to use Olive Oil for healthier reason.
