Chilli Crab Prawns with Enoki Mushrooms

chilli-crab-prawns

This is a dish perfect for busy weeknights! This is one of the dishes that I term ‘The Conjuring’.. because I hadn’t thought of cooking it this way and just put together whatever ingredients I could find. And like magic, it’s ready just like that, in a matter of minutes.

And as you can see, this week my fridge is lacking greens. Some spring onion garnish would make this dish look more appetising for sure!

My aunt doesn’t taking spice, so I didn’t add chopped chilli padi this time round. A little bit of chilli would give this dish the spicy kick that goes sooo well with the gravy and loads of rice or fried man tou. You could use this sauce with crayfish or other seafood as well. Enjoy!
