Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil or peanut oil
- 1 long green chilli, finely sliced
- 1 spring onion (scallion), finely diced
- 2 cm piece ginger, grated or finely sliced
- 300 g green school prawns
Instructions
Heat the oil in a large heavy-based frying pan over high heat. Add the chilli, spring onion and ginger, and let sizzle for 30 seconds while tossing or stirring. Add the prawns, and continue to toss over the raging flame as they change colour. Once they’ve changed colour right through, they’re cooked. Serve immediately. Usually, you can crunch right through the shell, too.
