Easy Grilled Prawns with Oriental Beans Stir Fry

A few marinated prawns, and a bunch of tooth picks and you are good to go for some real good grilled seafood! Fresh prawns are really hard to resist, although looking for new marinades and ways to cook are definitely tough to do. It's been 3 days since I have been planning to grill prawns and finally the dish is ready! 

I marinated the shrimps in the morning hoping to have them ready for lunch, but today was one busy day at work that left me no time to cook anything substantial for lunch! So, I logged out at 6 PM today and I had the Grilled Prawns and Oriental Beans Stir Fry ready by 6.10 PM! Well, that was fast and even I was surprised! 

In my recipe for Oriental Beans Stir Fry, I mentioned that I am always in the lookout for perfecting this dish to find the missing ingredient. And this time, I got it! It's fish sauce ladies :-) So to the recipe here, you may add a teaspoon or so of fish sauce and you have the Singapore food court style beans stir fry ready!
