I've made this a couple of times now, and I love it. So tasty. I don't cook the prawns with the shell on, but it works just as well. - 08 May 2017
The recipe was SO outstanding! I don't usually cook prawns with shell on when not on the grill, but I found that this stir fry with the shell on does the same thing -- preserves the flavor and keeps the prawn juicy! Loved the sauce -- so simple and so tasty. My entire family, including two picky teenagers, really felt that this recipe is restaurant worthy. I did a couple of things differently -- used less oil, and instead of removing the prawns, added the spring onions to the mix and used powdered ginger instead of fresh ginger (added to taste). So amazing. Thank you!! - 10 Feb 2015
