Method

1. Put all the marinade ingredients into a bowl, ensure this is a good size, season with black pepper and whisk together.

2. Add the prawns and king prawns, and stir to coat well. Transfer to the fridge and leave to marinate for 1 hour.

3. Heat the sunflower oil in a large frying pan or wok over high heat.

4. Add all the prawns and their marinade and fry for 4 minutes, until cooked through, pink, and slightly sticky.

6. Divide the prawns and pak choi between four plates, making sure that one unpeeled prawn is on each plate.
