I would like to start this post by admitting that I used a sauce kit for this dish. Yes, I cheated, but only because my grandmother bought these really fresh prawns late in the afternoon and if I tried to make "real" chilli prawns, I wouldn't be able to because of incomplete ingredients (and partly because I was feeling just a tad bit lazy. Hmmm).
During the family trip to Singapore last year, my titas hoarded these Prima Taste sauce kits that were available even in 7-Eleven. I had tasted the Hainanese Chicken Rice sauce kit here at home and was pleasantly surprised by how amazing it was = or maybe I was just biased, considering the fact that Hainanese Chicken Rice is one of my favorite dishes. I haven't found it for sale here in Cebu, but if you know a place selling it, I will be your servant forever. I actually still have a box of it highly guarded in my room, and I'm waiting for the perfect occasion to use it.
Anyway, my tita gave me her last remaining sauce kit (not expired yet, thank you very much) for Singapore Chilli Crabs. When my grandmother bought the prawns I mentioned, I decided to use the sauce kit for them instead.
The sauce kits are extremely easy to use and I must say that I was really happy with how the prawns turned out... especially since I had mine with a bottle of beer. Just perfect.
