Ingredients
Method
- Shell and de-vein the prawns, leaving the tails intact.
- Cut a line along their back to the tip of the tail.
- Peel the shallot and slice it very thinly.
- Chop the tomatoes into small cubes.
- Mix both vinegars with the sugar and soy sauce.
- Heat a heavy-bottomed pan or a wok. Pour half the oil into it. When it starts to smoke, carefully add the prawns and stir-fry for about a minute. As they turn pink, remove them to a plate, cover and rest.
- Add the remaining oil to the pan, when hot, add ginger, garlic and onion. Fry until tender for about 2 minutes, then add the soy-vinegar dressing. Stir for 2-3 minutes.
- When the sauce is reduced by half, add the tomato pieces and beans. Put the prawns back and fry for 2-3 minutes whilst constantly stirring.
- Finally add the butter, season with salt and pepper.
- Serve warm.
