This is absolutely yummy! I followed the recipe and only made mild changes. Used healthier olive oil, peeled the prawns completely (yes, i am lazy), skipped the cockles and upped the qty of prawns, and added a tsp of sugar in the seasoning. I marinated the prawns abit with 2 tsp of oyster sauce and sugar for 20 min prior to stir frying (one of fav way to marinate everything!) and wow! It was soo soo savoury good! Only prob is that our whole entire house smell abit like a stirfry joint after that!!! Will def do it again but with our windows open!
