Scrumptious prawn recipe that is quick, easy and had enough flavor for me without being too hot for DH! I made as written using ketchup option as I did not want left over tomato sauce, really appreciated that recipe called for cooked and peeled prawns. As this is so tasty, quick, easy and does use pre-cooked prawns will be making again. Thanks for the post.

Really tasty and easy-to-put-together meal! I doubled the ingredients, using 13-15 size shrimp and foregoing the chili pepper, because I didn't have one. There was plenty of heat, though, without it being too spicy. I substituted cornstarch for cornflour (hoping that it was close enough). I had plenty of sauce to go with the shrimp and the rice I served it over. Thanks for sharing this quick, delicious recipe. Made for PRMR Tag Game.

Russ and I really enjoyed this thanks Pat. I used 500g raw prawns which I added after the green onion, cooked a few minutes, then added in the sauce. I used the chilli and felt it gave the dish just the right amount of heat for us. My dish was nowhere neare as saucy looking as yours and I would definately double the amount of sauce next time.

With the demise of the forums and with no more interaction on site with what was a great community and it was a pleasure to get to know so many of you over the years and to have had the privilege of meeting some of you in person. For me now this is just another recipe site like to many on the net, it has lost its specialness, such a pity especially when Scripps changed the name from Recipezaar to Food.com and made this statement sorry cannot replicate here as considered invalid but they basically said yes the community was valuable hence .com was short for community but it was a pack of lies as they were not willing to put the money into that community and got rid of the forums which was the community so for .com has become .crap.
