May's Sauteed Prawn




I had a wonderful lunch with my Mum one time at their home in the Philippines and this was one of the dishes served. I wanted to have a prawn or a shrimp one day and thought of this dish. I asked Mum how she cooked the prawn dish and she told me my elder sister made it not her. Thankfully it is easier to get in touch with our family and friends nowadays because of the internet. We both have YM (yahoo messenger) and it is on every day, so I asked her secret prawn recipe. She laughed and said it is so easy to cook. Now remember, the amount of oil, salt and sugar depends on how much prawn you are going to cook.

WHAT YOU NEED:

Prawn/ Shrimp
Olive oil
Garlic
Salt
Sugar

WHAT TO DO:

1. Wash prawn with water.
2. Put the prawn in the heated pan.
3. When water from the prawn had dried up on the pan add the oil.
4. Put the garlic and add salt.
5. Cook for 10 minutes or until the color of the prawn changes to orange.
6. Add a little bit of sugar, preferably brown sugar.
7. Adjust the taste and serve while hot.
