Author: Shumaila
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
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.
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.
Add in the curry leaves and mix. After a few seconds add in the prawns.
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.
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.
