Dark Sweet Sauce Prawn / Kicap Manis Prawn 黑酱油虾

My family love dark sweet sauce. We always have one in the pantry and it is gone in a breeze. It can be used for dipping sauce, drizzling over rice, making gravy... and of course, making this delicious dark sweet sauce prawn (if you do not have dark sweet sauce, use a thick dark soy sauce and add sugar to your liking).

This is something that my mom always made for us, and we were constantly complaining about not enough sauce. Now there is a switch of role, I am the one making it, and my family the one complaining about not enough sauce. 

The ingredients list is short, but the taste is fantastic. When the caramelised dark sweet sauce meet the fried ginger and shallot, wonders happen. It tasted... complicated, and bring you to a exciting flavor journey. Believe it or not, you will make this again and again.

用1公斤22块的大虾炒了黑酱油虾。这虾带点焦糖味，非常下饭，家人都赞不绝口。这样一盘还真是不够吃呢！
