Cooking instructions
Instructions for 2 portion recipe.
Run a small knife along the back of the king prawns, cutting halfway through (make sure not to cut the whole way through) to butterfly the prawns
Peel and finely chop the garlic
Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a drizzle of vegetable oil over a medium-high heat
Once hot, add the chopped garlic and cook for 30 sec or until fragrant
Once fragrant, add the butterflied prawns and chilli flakes (Can't handle the heat? Go easy!) for 3 min or until they're cooked through – these are your garlic chilli prawns
Once done, transfer the prawns to a bowl and set them aside to cool
Meanwhile, cut the roots from the little gem lettuce[s] and separate the leaves
Pick 6 [12] of the biggest lettuce leaves – these are your lettuce cups
Cut the lime[s] into wedges
Slice the red chilli[es] finely
Add the chilli jam to the cooled prawns and give everything a good mix up – these are your sweet chilli prawns
Fill each lettuce cup with the sweet chilli prawns
Serve the sweet chilli prawn cups and garnish with the sliced red chilli (Can't handle the heat? Go easy!), fried onions and lime wedges
Enjoy!
