Pan Fried Sea Prawns With Light Soy Sauce

Again it is seafood being served at the table.  This time it is prawns and not clams.  I love the smell of prawns being pan fried.  It really works up my appetite.  Prawns is best cooked in the simplest form.  A simple steam and pan fried would be best if the prawns are very fresh as one can taste the sea scent and sweetness of the prawns.  I pan fried the prawns under high heat and once the prawns turned orangey red , sizzled it for a minute or two by adding light soy sauce...gosh, the whole kitchen smells so good :p

cut spring onions and cut chillies gives this dish the extra oomphs
