Chili Prawn

All the 3 of us love prawns. I make it too often with many variations. Some are pure Bengali dishes and some are just fusions. This time it’s a type of Chinese preparation, but really not observing all the Chinese cooking norms or using all the Chinese cooking ingredients. This is a readymade version for working mothers. This goes well with roti or Chowmin or any kind of fried rice.

Presenting before you- another dish of prawn- Chili Prawn (my version)

Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

Medium sized Prawns (20 pieces)

Salt as per taste

1 big onion and 1 big capsicum cut into dice shape (you can add any vegetables like carrots, French beans etc.)

4-5 garlic cloves cut into halves from length

Green chili cut from length (quantity as per your tolerance)

1 tsp soya sauce

1 tsp green pepper sauce

1 tsp red pepper sauce

1 tsp chili vinegar

Red chili powder as per taste (optional)

Salt as per taste

water

oil

Method

Clean, wash and pat dry prawns. Rub them with salt and chili powder and keep aside

Heat a pan with oil. Add the diced onion, capsicum and garlic. Add a pinch of salt. Cover and cook for 5 minutes

Now add the prawns and the green chilies. Continue to cook until all the ingredients become soft.

Now add all the sauces and vinegar and mix well and cook.

Add half cup of water and bring to boil.

I love this dish semi dry. You can remove the dish from heat when you get the required consistency of the dish.
