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).
