"大头虾"


Recently, noticed myself a bit "大头虾 : Big Head Prawn - direct translate from Cantonese" to describe a person tat is very forgetful. Always misplaced things (even money oh!!!) So scary!! sign of aging ........?? or I should put the blame on the prawn??? (after my sister read this, she will not want to supply prawn to me any more).

The prawn was really BIG, each was about 25/26cm long (the photo might not give your the exact picture, just take out a ruler and measured, even my plate was too small for it) and I had 4x by myself. Hahaha!..... now u know how come my head so big.



and
I found this quick & easy way to cook the prawn

Grilled Prawn in Spicy Sauce


* Cut prawn lenghtwise, lightly sprinkle the cut side of prawn with salt & black pepper

* Heat Extra Virgin Olive oil in wok.

* Add in chopped garlic, chili padi and stir fry till aromatic
* Put in prawns and cover, cook for 2 - 3 minutes (under low heat)
* Life the lid and add in little wine or (Chinese cooking wine)
* Cover again and continue to cook for another 3 - 4 minutes (or till the gravy is almost dry)
* Sprinkle with ground black pepper.
