Sweet and Spicy Prawns Stir Fry Recipe

Guess what? Daddy is in the house! (Or shall I say, was?) And he's invading the kitchen!

I bought some fresh prawns from the grocery because I wanted to cook something special for hubby. Anything with prawns is "special" 'cause it's expensive! Haha!!! But due to a series of family activities, my work has been affected and I needed to catch up. So, my ever supportive hubby gave his helping hand and prepared this "perfectly cooked" (according to him... haha!) stir fry prawns.

Actually, I'm allergic to something spicy. (Thank God, not to prawns!) And a week ago, he suffered from heartburn so he omitted the chili. But the deliciousness was not affected since the ginger still gave the needed spiciness. So yeah, he has the right, AHEM, to brag!

Thanks Daddae for this palatable dish! *Burp*

I also would like to give credit to whom credit is due... AHEM again... to my husband for the mouthwatering photos!
