microwave chilli prawns

Chilli prawns are very popular here as a chinese restaurant dish.

sometimes i crave chilli prawns, but after 2 or 3 pieces and i will be sick of the oil filled prawns.

Very often, the prawns are coated with flour, fried and then wok fried again in sticky sweet chilli sauce. i discovered a new way to do this without the frying!

using the microwave.
