This Chilli Prawn (or Shrimp) recipe is my mom’s signature dish. It’s always a huge hit at home and at gatherings!
I’ve made it exactly the way she does, using just a few simple ingredients. The flavor is absolutely next level. It’s spicy, tangy, and irresistibly delicious.
Perfect for a quick dinner, a crowd-pleasing party dish, or when you’re craving something bold and easy to whip up.
