Prawns with chilli and garlic

I had this for lunch yesterday, a pretty light lunch I reckon! It didn't take long to prepare and cook at all, possibly not more than 20-30 minutes. Quick, easy and yummy, what more do you want? :)

Only thing I would stress is to use raw prawns in this recipes, it provides the all important flavour; the sweetness from raw seafood.

Prawns with chili and garlic
(Serves 1 as a main)

Ingredients
250 grammes of raw prawns
1/2 inch of fresh ginger, sliced into matchsticks
2-3 cloves of garlic
A handful of fresh coriander
1 1/2 tablespoons of plain flour
1 teaspoon of sugar
A pinch of chilli flakes
Zest and juice of half a lemon
Salt to taste
1 tablespoon of olive oil

Method

• Mix the flour and prawns together in a bowl, lightly seasoned with salt. Add about 1 teaspoon of water to combine.
• Heat the oil in a wok/frying pan.
• Add the garlic and ginger and fry until lightly browned.
• Add the prawns and fry for about 1 minute. Add the chilli flakes.
• When they're starting to turn pink, and crispy around the edges, add the lemon zest, lemon juice and sugar.
• Add the coriander, and continuing frying until the prawns are cooked.
• Serve immediately with some crusty bread, or as I've done, some lightly fried boiled new potatoes.
