Malaysian Creamy Prawns

Instructions

1. 1

   Clean the prawns and slice them open.

2. 2

   Heat oil in a pan and fry the prawns until golden brown, not fully cooked, just until the shells are crispy. Use chopsticks to flip them. Remove from pan.

3. 3

   On low heat, add garlic slices, chili, butter, milk, coconut milk, curry powder, and salt in order. Stir well. Be cautious with curry powder to avoid overpowering the dish.

4. 4

   Add the prawns back into the pan. Increase to medium-high heat. Instead of flipping the prawns, spoon the sauce over them until the sauce thickens and the prawns are cooked. Turn off the heat, sprinkle with basil or mint leaves. Cheese can also be sprinkled if desired.

5. 5

   Serve hot and mix well before eating.

6. 6

   This is a modified version that omits coconut milk, butter, and curry. Basil can also be omitted, and a sprinkle of pepper will still make it delicious.
