– 500g large prawns, peeled and deveined

Creating Sweet and Sticky Honey Glazed Prawns is straightforward. Follow these steps for the best results:
1. Prepare the Prawns: Ensure prawns are cleaned and deveined. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
2. Make the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, red chili flakes, salt, and pepper.
3. Marinate the Prawns: Place the prawns in the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Let them marinate for at least 10 minutes.
4. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
5. Cook the Prawns: Add the marinated prawns to the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd them. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side.
6. Flip and Glaze: Turn the prawns over and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes or until they turn pink and opaque. Pour any remaining marinade into the pan, allowing it to create a glaze as the prawns finish cooking.
7. Garnish: Once the prawns are fully cooked, remove them from the heat. Sprinkle chopped green onions and sesame seeds on top for added flavor and presentation.
8. Serve Immediately: Transfer the glazed prawns to a serving platter while they are still warm.
Following these steps ensures that your Sweet and Sticky Honey Glazed Prawns turn out delicious every time!
