The garlic, Ginger & Chili is a great combination that makes these prawns burst with flavor. I cut the oil back to 1 tbsp. I used a Thai sweet chili sauce (very hot) instead of our regular chili sauce. I got all the ingredients ready ahead of time and had them in two bowls-the prawns, garlic, ginger, dry chili & scallions in one and the remaining ingredients in another. It took me 5 minutes for the actual cooking - Thanks Jessica for a delicious recipe, to be repeated, for prawns

Great stuff, although I'm not sure it's great that I ate the "3-4 servings" all by myself! I'm already looking forward to making this again, it was delicious. Thanks!

I double the sauce, add white wine to it, and toss with asian noodles...it's excellent! Great for a dinner party!

I doubled this recipe as a single batch was just not enough it was so good. I used cooked shrimp and 1 tsp. of ground ginger. As Bergy recommended I used a sweet Thai chili sauce so I reduced the amount of chile flakes. I also only used about 1 1/2 Tblsp of sesame oil. I chose not to thicken the sauce and with the leftovers, I put it over nachoes and topped with cheese and microwaved. Both ways this dish was prepared turned out incredible. Thanks for the recipe.

Had some leftover shrimp I was searching for something to do with, and came across this recipe. It was fast, easy, and great flavoring! I will definitely make it again! Thank you! Update: We made this again and used a seafood mix from Trader Joe's that had shrimp, scallops, and calamari and it was very good! Thanks again!

This was good. I followed the directions apart from cooking in the sesame oil. I used peanut oil for the frying and added a teaspoon of sesame oil at the end of cooking.A quick and easy dish.

Fantastic flavours, easy to do what more could you want in a recipe. Followed the recipe fully, wouldn't change a thing. Will be making this quite often.

This was very tasty. I substituted Chinese chili garlic sauce for chili sauce and it was too hot. Will use only 1 TBSP next time.

Really good and not overly hot. I made a little extra sauce and mixed it in with Asian Couscous 153654.
