Balsamic Glazed Prawns

Rinse the prawns and allow them to drain in a strainer.

In a large skillet, heat 2 tbsp of olive oil over medium-high heat.

Add red chilli flakes, black pepper powder, salt, and the prawns to the hot skillet. Cook each side for 2-3 minutes, or until the prawns turn pink and are slightly golden brown.

Add the basil leaves and stir for a minute. Once done, transfer the prawns from the skillet and set them aside.

In the same skillet, heat another 1-2 tbsp of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chopped garlic and saute’ for about 1 minute, or until it becomes fragrant.

Pour in the balsamic vinegar and sugar. Stir the mixture well and let it simmer for 3-4 minutes until it thickens into a glaze.

Return the cooked prawns to the skillet and coat them evenly with the balsamic glaze. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the prawns to absorb the flavours of the glaze.

Sprinkle with fresh parsley for garnish.

Serve the Balsamic Glazed Prawns over rice, pasta, or with a side of crusty bread to enjoy the delicious combination of flavours.
