HOT AND SPICY FU YEE PRAWNS

Another lovely, easy yet delicious prawn dish from my selected cookbook for May's Cookbook Countdown Event.

It is a fragrant and very tasty dish.  The savoury and sweet taste is just nice with a little spicy flavour. Do not cut down on the chilli padi if you like the dish spicy.

In the original recipe, the prawns are deep fried then fried with the seasoning ingredients.  Here, I pan fried them in a non-stick wok as I have shelled the prawns just leaving the tails intact.  This way, I need not use much oil to cook them.
