Singapore Chile Prawns Recipe


Singapore Chile Prawns Recipe
The delectable sauce is slurped up with thick slices of white bread. Delicious!! Serve Singapore Chile Prawns with a tossed salad and you get a wonderful meal for the summer and fall. It's a Singapore version of a French seafood stew.

Ingredients
  • auce:
  • 1 cup water
  • 5 tablespoons tomato catsup
  • 1 1/2 to 3 tablespoons sugar, or to taste
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons corn flour
  • 1 teaspoon pounded brown preserved soya beans or dark miso (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoons salt
  • Prawns:
  • 1 pound large, whole prawns (unshelled)
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 8 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
  • 8 fresh red chilies, roughly chopped
  • 1 egg
  • 2 scallions, cut into finger lengths
  • 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lime or lemon juice
  • 1 small bunch cilantro, cut into 1-inch long pieces

Directions
  1. Make the Sauce: Whisk together all the ingredients in a bowl and set aside.
  2. Make the Prawns: Cut down the backs of the prawns and remove the black intestinal vein. Set aside.
  3. Heat the oil in a wok or shallow saucepan over high heat. Add the garlic and stir-fry for 1 minute. Add the chiles and stir-fry for another minute. Add the prawns and stir-fry until the shell turn slightly red, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the sauce and stir-fry until the shells turn red.
  4. Break the egg into the wok and, using a fork, streak the egg through the sauce (this is an important step, as the egg has to be in beautiful gold and white streaks). Simmer the sauce for a few seconds and remove from the heat. Stir in the scallions and lime juice.
  5. Transfer the prawns to a platter, garnish with the cilantro, and serve with chunks of French bread.
  6. Note: This dish is also wonderful with mussels, crabs or lobsters; or you could mix all the seafood together.
