Golden Fragrant Prawns 金香蝦碌

After spending all morning washing and cleaning, I decided to cook a nice lunch to reward myself. I found some prawns in the fridge and I knew exactly what I was going to cook. This is adapted from Aunty Cheah's Kam Heong Lala, do have a look at her original recipe and other delicious offerings at her blog - No-Frills Recipes. 

P.S My curry tree is doing extremely well at the moment and I know exactly what I will be cooking next so stay tuned! Have you noticed how clean the frying pan is?
