Garlic Coriander Prawn 蒜茸香菜虾

There is always some lemon in my pantry, be it the green lime or the yellow lemon. Not everyone can take that sourness, but me, and even Lyn and El, fell for it helplessly. I am surprised at the level of sourness they can take, especially they are both below 5 years-old!

We don't have a garden, and neither any luck growing plants in our pots. But there it goes, look at those newly sprouted tender leaves! As fragile as they look, they had survived many occasions that other plants had otherwise perished. Oh I just hope that they will grow up to be strong and fruitful lemon trees!

Lemon not only do good to our skin, nourishes our body, it also imparts a wonderful tangy and zesty tang to whatever dishes it is added to. A slice of lemon wedge spruces up the dish immediately. Now coming back to this garlic coriander prawn, I think lemon is the key ingredient rendering this dish refreshingly good. Have you seen those appetizers served on the spoon? DH think this is perfect dish for spoon appetiser. Indeed, sour food is guaranteed to whet your appetite. One bite is never enough, it will make you crave for more, and more...

Believe it or not, this is one of the best prawn recipes that I have. I am careful to label the term 'best' in my recipe, but this, it earns the title!
