Prawns with Worchestershire Sauce
Last night I made Prawns with Worcestershire Sauce. Thought, I share the recipe with you.
Ingredients:
- 15-20 Prawns in a shell (or shell-less if you prefer)
- 1 brown onion
- 2 cloves of Garlic
- Iceberg Lettuce (I did not have any in my fridge at that time but I would recommend you serve it with the prawns for freshness and presentation)
- 1/2 cup of Worcestershire sauce (my favourite brand is Lea and Perkins)
- 2 tablespoon of butter/margarine
- 3 tablespoon of tomato sauce
- 2 tablespoon of oyster sauce
- 2 tablespoon of soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon of sugar
- 3 tablespoon of white wine vinegar
- 1/4 cup of chinese cooking wine or sherry or mirin
- 2 tablespoon of soy sauce
- 1/2 cup of water
- Thickening sauce – a mixture of 1/4 cup water with 1 tablespoon corn flour
- salt and pepper to season
Methods:
- Quickly blanched/steam/boil prawns and put aside. Make sure you do not overcook it.
- Chop onions into thin strips, chop garlics into fine pieces
- Melt the butter/margarine in a frying pan then sweat the onion and garlic until soft.
- put in the chinese cooking wine/mirin/sherry and stir for 10 seconds
- put in the oyster sauce, soy sauce, tomato sauce, vinegar, sugar, worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper and water. Stir until everything mixed through for about 30 seconds.
- Wait until the sauce is boiling, then stir in the Thickening Sauce (water and corn flour mixture).
- Once the sauce is boiling and get thickened, stir in the cooked prawns to heat them up and mix them with the sauce
- In the serving plate, lay down iceberg lettuce leaves to cover the plate. Then Serve the prawns and pour the sauce over.
I really like the prawns with the shell as you can get your hand dirty and lick your fingers while feasting 
.
Alternatively, you can substitute prawns with fried chicken (coat the chicken with flour, then deep fried them).
Bon Apetite!
