Instructions

Leave the prawn heads and shells on, but chop off the eyes. Cut the legs with scissors. Slit down the back to remove the veins, then pat dry.
Heat a skillet with oil and pan-fry the prawns until the shells turn white but are not completely cooked. Drain and set aside.
Melt the butter, then add the garlic, curry leaves, and bird's eye chilies (if using). Stir-fry for 1 minute or until aromatic. Add the prawns, oyster sauce, wine, sugar, black pepper, and grated coconut. Cook over high heat for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently.
Dish out and serve immediately.
