Fried Prawns With Dark Soy Sauce

The is the second dish which I cooked using dark soy sauce after my first dish Fried Chicken with Sweet Dark Soy Sauce.  Using the same method, this is again the simplest way to cook prawns that are tasty and delicious.  So much of big prawns left over from Chinese New Year in my mother in-law's fridge.  I think, she has about 5 kg of big prawns before CNY.  Last year, the quantity left over lasted until June.  This year, I don't know how long the leftover will last especially when she ain't doing any daily cooking [have to wait till I'm back at her place].

The shells have turned dark after thawing, so the best way is to shell them and cook it this way which is much faster and looks good, too.
