Steps
- 1
optional: Cut along the back of each prawn to butterfly it, then remove the digestive tract. Keep the shells intact.
- 2
Finely mince the garlic. Briefly rinse it under cold water to remove some of the sticky garlic juices, which helps prevent it from sticking or turning bitter during stir-frying. Drain thoroughly.
- 3
Heat some cooking oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the prawns and pan-fry until the shells turn red and become lightly seared. Remove the prawns and set aside.
- 4
Return the prawns to the pan and pour in 150 ml of beer. Add a small pinch of salt, 1/2 tablespoon of sugar, a little ground white pepper, and 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce. Bring to a boil and cook for 3 minutes.
- 5
Increase the heat and reduce the sauce until it lightly coats the prawns.
- 6
optional: Transfer to a serving plate and optionally garnish with chopped green onions.
