Soy Sauce Prawns
Soy Sauce Prawns (豉油王虾) is a typical Chinese-Cantonese dish that is delicious and great throughout the year. The prawns are cooked the flavorful soy sauce and fried shallots. These prawns are juicy inside and outside. I will always use large or medium fresh prawns rather than the frozen prawns. This is because the fresh prawns are always more flavorful and good compare to the frozen prawns. I will keep the prawn's shell since it can hold more sauce and more succulent for the dish. The sauce is the key to the success of the soy sauce prawn. The sauce is a simple combination of soy sauce, sugar, and fried shallots oil.
