Directions

1
Remove the shrimps from their shells so that the tail end remains on them. Make a slight incision in the back and pull out the intestines. Wash the prawns and dab them dry with kitchen paper. Peel garlic and onion and chop finely. Chop the chillies
2
Mix lime juice, sugar and fish sauce or soy sauce in a small bowl. Heat the oil in a large pan. Add the prawns and fry for 4-6 minutes, turning several times. Remove the prawns and set aside
3
Fry the garlic, onion and chillies in hot frying fat until golden brown, stirring continuously. Deglaze with lime-sugar mixture and bring to the boil. Let the sauce boil down at high heat for about 5 minutes while stirring occasionally.
4
Add the prawns to the sauce and heat briefly. Arrange the prawns on a plate. Garnish with slices of lime and chive garlic as desired. Add the rest of the sauce in a small bowl. Basmati or jasmine rice tastes good with it
