Prawns and Basil Stir-Fry

Ingredients for Prawns and Basil Stir-Fry

• 3 Fresno chillies, coarsely chopped

• 6 garlic cloves, smashed

• 60ml sugar

• 2 tablespoons fish sauce

• 1 teaspoon kosher salt

• 60ml vegetable or grapeseed oil, divided

• 450g large prawns, peeled, deveined

• 2 cups basil leaves (about 1 bunch)

• Lime wedges (for serving)

Blend chillies, garlic, sugar, fish sauce, salt, and 45ml oil in a blender until smooth. Transfer marinade to a medium bowl; add prawns and toss to coat. Let sit 10 minutes.

Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. Working in batches if needed to avoid crowding the pan, transfer prawns to skillet, leaving marinade behind, and cook until deeply browned around the edges and flesh is opaque, about 1 minute per side. Remove pan from heat and add basil; toss vigorously until basil is wilted.

Transfer prawns mixture to plates. Serve with rice and lime wedges alongside.
