Author:
Recipe type: main, appetizer
Cuisine: Indian
Serves: 3-4
Ingredients
  • 300-400 gms prawns, peeled and deveined
  • 1 tsp red chilli powder, optional
  • 1 tsp black pepper powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 green chilli, chopped
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp butter
  • 1 tsp mustard seeds
  • 10 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 15-20 curry leaves
  • 1 tbsp chilli garlic sauce or schezwan sauce or sriracha
  • 1-2 medium sized onions, sliced.
Instructions
  1. In a bowl, mix the prawns with the red chilli powder (optional), black pepper, salt, chillies and cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. In a skillet, heat olive oil and butter on medium- high heat. Add mustard seeds and let sizzle for a few seconds. Add in the garlic, and stir.
  3. Add in the curry leaves and mix. After a few seconds add in the prawns.
  4. Add the sauce and stir a few times. Turn heat down to medium-low and let prawns cook gently, stirring until the prawns turn opaque, about 2-3 minutes. Prawns cook quickly, so be sure not to overcook them.
  5. Remove the prawns, and heat a little butter in the same skillet on medium-high heat. Add the sliced onions and coat them well with the leftover masala in the pan and cook for a minute or so. Serve on top of the prawns.
