A spicy Thai-style dish with complex flavors that goes well with steamed or fried rice. I concocted this recipe after purchasing and preparing an off-the-shelf packet of ready-made tomato-garlic sauce in Malaysia.
Ingredients:
750 g prawns, shelled and deveined, tails on
2 teaspoons flour (for thickening)
water
3 tablespoons oil, your preference (to saute prawns)
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 teaspoon minced garlic or 1 teaspoon garlic paste
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons honey
Directions:
1. Heat oil in skillet until very hot but not smoking.
2. Meanwhile, mix ingredients for sauce.
3. Saute prawns in hot oil until they turn white/pink but are not completely cooked (approximately 3 minutes).
4. Turn heat down, add sauce, cover and simmer for 2 more minutes.
5. Mix flour with a small amount of water, add to sauce and cook until sauce has thickened (approximately 1 minute).
6. Serve with sides of your choice.
