    Honey Chilli Prawns is an insanely delicious super easy appetizer that can be made in under 20 minutes! The sweet and spicy flavors of the honey chilli sauce are perfect with the shrimp and are ideal as a side with noodles and rice.

    Honey Chilli Prawns Recipe

    You'd be seeing quite a few one-pot meals or under 30-minute meals all through April and I'm glad you are liking the recipes that I am sharing. If you have any particular dishes in mind, let me know. I'd be happy to share the recipe with you.

    We got hold of some beautiful tiger prawns last day and I knew I had to make Honey Chilli Prawns right away. It was a regular at home because my husband loves it a lot with garlic rice.

    I knew Dad was going to love it too and we are also joined by my brother-in-law and together, they licked their bowls clean. Ah, I will be making this recipe at least once a week now, I am sure.

    This easy honey garlic prawns has a sauce that is not so soupy or thick. It is just enough to coat the rice or noodles perfectly and will have you smacking your lips with utmost satisfaction.

    Serve over a bed of flavorful basmati rice, jasmine rice, or noodles.

    Ingredients for Asian Honey Glazed Prawns

    • Prawns: I have always been a fan of fresh prawns because I thought frozen prawns were not the same. I was ready to do the extra work of peeling and deveining the prawns. But frozen prawns these days are amazing! They taste good and it is an easy shortcut for everyday cooking purposes.
    • Sesame oil: Sesame oil works best when you prepare any Chinese dish. This brings out the authentic taste of Chinese cuisine.
    • Marination: We will be coating the prawns with cornflour and season them with salt and pepper before lightly cooking them in sesame oil.
    • Soy sauce, Sriracha Sauce, and Vinegar bring out the flavorings in the sauce.
    • Honey: I am vary of "cooking" honey because heating honey damages its nutritional properties. So, I make sure that there is no prolonged exposure to heat in my dish when cooking with honey. I always drizzle honey after taking off from heat, to coat with the sauce.
    • Garlic: You may use minced garlic or finely chopped garlic. Take it up a notch by frying the garlic until golden brown to bring a burnt garlic flavor to the dish.

    Making Sticky Honey Chilli Garlic Prawns

    • To make honey chilli prawns, marinate the prawns with salt, pepper, and cornflour for 5-10 minutes.
    • Heat sesame oil in a pan and add the marinated prawns to it.
    • Flip and cook both sides. This will take 3-5 minutes only. Remove from the pan.
    • To the same pan, add garlic and saute until it is golden brown.
    • Add the sauces and cook for a couple of minutes on low flame.
    • Add the cooked prawns and coat them with the sauce.
    • Garnish with spring onion greens and chopped dry red chilies.
    • Serve as an appetizer or as a side with rice or noodles.

      I keep thinking of how our parents would cook prawns Kerala style ... definitely more than 5 minutes there... we were so used to that form until we grew up and started watching cooking shows and reading articles on it.

      P.S. Thanks for the tip on using honey OFF the heat... havent been doing that

      I can't make non-veg at home, but I do eat it so maybe I will try this recipe if available at some restaurant or will ask my friend to make it for me once back at Mumbai.

      This looks super simple. Me being a vegetarian, will exchange prawns for paneer or potato and try this.
