Recipe Note

- u16–20 prawns refer to the size of the prawns, that there are approximately 16–20 prawns per pound. The lower the “u” number, the larger the prawns (i.e. “colossal prawns are u6–8)

- For Jalapeño puree, remove stems, seeds, and veins from the jalapeños, and place into a food processor until pureed. Be careful not to stick your face into a food processor, the oils from the chili will aromatize and could cause a coughing fit

- If you can’t find Thai fish sauce, the Vietnamese counterpart will do the trick

- Once the prawns turn white/opaque, they are virtually done, as they will continue to cook from residual heat.

- If swapping out for chicken or pork, browning them slightly in a separate pan before adding to the sauce (which will finish their cooking) will result in a tastier end product
