We are absolutely in love with the flavours of a proper Singapore Chilli Crab, but let’s be honest, not everyone enjoys handling crabs. That is why we wanted to bring that magic to a simpler, home-friendly dish. These super easy Singapore-Style Chilli Prawns capture everything that makes chilli crab so iconic: the sweet, spicy and tangy sauce, the garlicky aroma, and the glossy, finger-licking finish that makes you reach for seconds. In this video, Roland will show you how to recreate those flavours with juicy, perfectly cooked prawns without any of the stress of handling a crab. This recipe is quick, packed with flavour, and sure to impress family or friends. Try making this dish at home and happy cooking.

Hi sir, do you have any recipe ideas suitable for Chinese New Year? I am a maid who always follows your recipes to entertain the boss's family.
A must try recipe for this busy cny period. Your tasting at the end of the video definitely made it look more tasty! Thank you for sharing. Happy CNY to you & your family. 🎉🎉🎉
Yummy shrimp dish for CNY, thanks for the recipe 😍😋
That glossy Singapore chilli crab sauce coating the prawns looks absolutely irresistible 😋🦐
Hi Roland, most of us love crabs but don’t know how to cook them. If i buy crabs which are killed by the hawker, how long can they remain in the fridge before i cook them? Or when people say you should cook them immediately, what's the time interval between killing the crabs and cooking them?
Yummy and delicious 😋
Thanks n Happy CNY 2026!
You are so creative and brilliant ❤
Looks delicious!
Looks doable, thanks Roland, Happy New Year!!
Did he take the shells off?
Yummy 🤤😋❤
Hi Roland, what kind of instant sambal chilli paste will you recommend?
This would be an additional dish to my CNY eve dinner. Happy New Year chef Roland.
I like the golden brown fried buns with condensed milk
Perfect for cny. ❤❤❤
Hi where to get the buns or it ready made?? 👍🤩
Why would you leave the prawn shell on and then have to spit it out, seriously that is just stupidity beyond belief.
