Singaporean Style Sweet Chilli Prawns

This spicy but sweet prawns, is a recipe that I tried when I visited Singapore. If you love Singapore chilli crab then you will certainly love this recipe. It is full of flavour and you will definitely be addicted to it.

This dish will have a mild spicy flavour with a hint of sweetness, the prawns flavour will not be too spicy, just enough. The colour of the sauce added will create a fiery hot dish but the flavours are mild enough for everyone to eat.

Please try out the recipe, you won’t be disappointed.
