Garlic Chili Shrimp

Asian style stir fried garlic chili shrimp or prawns is juicy, spicy and sweet. Often in Asian cuisine, shrimp or prawns are cooked as a whole that have head and shell on. Not only it is convenient to cook, but also it retains shrimp juicy and gives more flavor to the food. However, most of time shrimp are sold with heads off and no shells in the states. Also, stir fried chili garlic prawns is tasty and simple seafood dish. If you are shrimp lover, this is a must tried prawns dish.

Moreover, shrimp have high levels of omega-3 fatty acids, calcium, iodine, protein and good cholesterol. But, they are low in food energy and calorie. Personally, I am a shrimp lover and garlic chili sauce stir fried shrimp is amazing tasty! Besides, don’t over cook the shrimp because it will change to be tough and dry texture. In addition, remember to add garlic chili sauce depends on how hot you can handle. Therefore, I suggest to add half tablespoon at a time.

Lee Kum Kee garlic chili sauce 1 tablespoon (depends how spicy you can handle)

Soy sauce 1/2 tablespoon
