Guys these prawns are crazy delicious! And they only need a sprinkle of this and a spoonful of that, and before you can say tiger prawns they are ready! It’s a classic combination for seafood – honey, chilli flakes and garlic! I threw in some snow peas right towards the end so that they could just sizzle a bit and not get all squishy. But you can totally add whatever vegetable works for you. I love adding broccoli, mushrooms, even beans or bok choy. Anything green is the best!

They are not so much soupy or saucy. But there is enough at the bottom of the pan to just coat your noodles or rice slightly. This can’t be categorized as Thai or Chinese or Korean. I think it’s just a simple Asian stir fry that is so perfect for quick dinners when you want something satisfyingly homemade but don’t have enough time to cook dinner!

The recipe

5 Ingredient Honey Chilli Garlic Tiger Prawns

Looking for meals under 15 minutes? This is it – 5 ingredient honey garlic chilli tiger prawns! All the asian flavours you love in this one easy recipe!

  • Serves 4 Portions
  • Prep 5 minutes
  • Cook 10 minutes
  • Total 15 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 500 grams Prawns (Tiger, cleaned and deveined)
  • 3/4 teaspoon Chili (Flakes)
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic (Paste)
  • 1 tablespoon Honey
  • 1 cup Peas (Snow)
  • Salt to taste

Method

  1. 1

    Add tiger prawns to a bowl and add chili flakes and garlic paste to them. Mix and let them sit for 5 minutes while you prepare your snow peas or any other vegetable you are using.

  2. 2

    Heat oil in a skillet or pan and add the tiger prawns. Stir fry them for 4-5 minutes and add honey, 3 tablespoons water, snow peas and salt. Because of the honey, it should start becoming a little saucy. Switch off the flame after a minute or two, just as soon as the snow peas look slightly steamed and become a bright green.

  3. 3

    Serve these 5 Ingredient Honey Chilli Garlic Tiger Prawns with some rice noodles or just plain steamed rice.

Notes

The cooking time may change by a minute or two depending on the size of prawns. Frozen Prawns: Frozen prawns have an advantage of being deveined and cleaned so they help save time while making this recipe, with the same great taste Make sure to only add defrosted prawns. Adding frozen prawns will leave out water in the pan making it diluted. I added in some snow peas right towards the end so that they could just sizzle a bit and not get all squishy. But you can totally add whatever vegetable works for you. I love adding broccoli, mushrooms, even beans or bok choy.
