Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 scallions, cut into 3 pieces each and sliced into strips
- 2 fat cloves of garlic, peeled and sliced thinly
- 1 (1/2-inch) piece of ginger, peeled, sliced thinly, and cut into strips
- 2 1/4 pounds shelled raw shrimp
- 1/3 cup dry sherry
- Kosher salt
Directions
Warm the oil in a large wide saucepan, and throw in the scallions, garlic and ginger.
Stir everything around vigorously until the onions begin to wilt, and then toss in the prawns, stirring again. Cover the pan and let everything cook for about 5 minutes; then, remove the lid and pour in the sherry. Stir again, then cover the pan until the prawns are cooked through and no longer glassy in the middle. Taste; add a sprinkling of salt if you need it. Pour into a large shallow bowl, making sure you don't lose all the bits of onion, garlic and ginger, and take immediately to the table.

We found these to be subtle, but delicious. The only things that we changed were using frozen 51-60 count per pound shrimp, (since it was what I had on hand. and brining the shrimp for 1/2 hour in 1 quart of water mixed with 1/4 cup of kosher salt to put back some of the moisture that it lost in the freezing process. The garlic, ginger and onions melded beautifully and the sauce was brothy and flavorful. It was very good poured over rice.

I thought that the recipe was a little bland; too much water. For a name like Hot Spiced Prawn, not enough soice. I had to add some of my spice to it.
