Ingredients

  • 500g large prawns, peeled with tails left on
  • 3 tbsp Minnies Flaming Hot Sauce (Sriracha)
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp Minnies Garlic Chilli Sauce
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely grated
  • 1 tbsp neutral oil
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds, to garnish
  • 2 spring onions, sliced, to garnish
  • Lime wedges, to serve

Method

  1. Whisk Flaming Hot Sauce, honey, Garlic Chilli, soy sauce, vinegar, and grated garlic in a small bowl. The glaze should look glossy and thick enough to coat a spoon.
  2. Pat the prawns dry with paper towels (essential for a proper sear — wet prawns will steam, not fry).
  3. Heat the oil in a wide pan over high heat. When the oil shimmers, lay the prawns in a single layer (work in batches if needed — don't crowd the pan).
  4. Cook 90 seconds on the first side until pink and starting to curl. Flip and cook 60 seconds on the second side.
  5. Pour the glaze over the prawns. Toss everything together for 30-45 seconds — the glaze reduces around the prawns into a sticky coating.
  6. Tip onto a plate. Scatter sesame seeds and spring onion. Lime wedges on the side.
