👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Rinse the prawns thoroughly under cold water; if desired, trim the antennae and legs with kitchen shears, but leave shells and heads intact for maximum flavor.
2. Prepare the aromatics: thinly slice the fresh ginger, finely mince the garlic cloves, and chop the spring onions into small rings for garnish.
3. Arrange the cleaned prawns in a single layer on a heatproof plate, distributing some ginger slices and minced garlic evenly over them.
4. Place the plate of prawns in a steamer basket over simmering water, cover tightly, and steam for 3-5 minutes, or until the prawns turn opaque pink and are cooked through.
5. Carefully remove the steamed prawns from the steamer. Drizzle with light soy sauce and a few drops of sesame oil, then garnish generously with the chopped spring onions.
