Butter Garlic Fried Prawns

My first recipe using ‘kecap manis’ aka sweet soy sauce 😊 As I mentioned in one of my posts before, Chinese Indonesian brought their legacy of Chinese cuisine, and modified some of the dishes with the addition of Indonesian ingredients, such as kecap manis (sweet soy sauce), palm sugar, coconut milk, peanut sauce, chili, and some other local spices to form a hybrid Chinese Indonesian cuisine. This special prawn dish is usually served during special occasions in Chinese tradition.
