Honey Prawns (Shrimp) image

We love honey prawns and what I like about this recipe over some of the restaurant recipes are that the prawns are not in a batter and it is served with vegetables, the only addition I would make is to add a finely sliced hot red chilli and stir fry in step 4 with garlic etc. The recipe calls for leaving the tails on the prawns, I prefer not too, personal preference. VARIATION - for honey chicken, use 600 grams of chicken breast fillets, sliced, instead of prawns making it more budget friendly meal. Preparation time is based on you peeling prawns and has been estimated.
