A delicious blend of sweet and savory with every bite of these Hoisin Butter Prawns.

Let the richness of butter and the distinct flavors of hoisin sauce take your taste buds on a culinary journey that you won't soon forget.

The hoisin sauce adds a unique sweetness and depth to the dish, complementing the natural brininess of the prawns.

As the sauce caramelizes slightly, it forms a beautiful glaze over the prawns, intensifying the flavors and creating a visually appealing dish.

Notes

Keto Honey Garlic Prawns:

For a slightly sweet and garlicky twist, replace the hoisin sauce with a keto-friendly honey garlic sauce. Create the sauce by combining minced garlic, sugar-free honey substitute, soy sauce, and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Coat the prawns in the sauce and sauté until they're perfectly glazed and irresistibly flavorful.

Spicy Chili Prawns:

Heat things up with a spicy kick by adding sliced red chili peppers to the pan along with the ginger and peppercorns. The fiery heat of the chili peppers will beautifully balance the richness of the butter, making this a must-try variation for spice lovers.

Creamy Coconut Prawns:

For a tropical and creamy twist, stir in a splash of coconut milk to the buttery sauce. The coconut milk will impart a luscious creaminess and hint of sweetness that pairs wonderfully with the prawns. Garnish with fresh cilantro and lime wedges to complete the tropical experience.
