King prawn celery is a restaurant dish, the crispiness of celery complement well with soft prawns. When cooking this dish it is important not to add water to the dish as it will soften the celery. Some chef like to deep fry the celery for a few second in hot oil. The outer stalk can be quite hard and stringy, it is therefore best to peel the skin slightly before cooking.
Below is my recipe for this great tasting dih;

8 31/40 tiger prawns
2 large outer strips of celery (peel skin)
1 large red chilli
half teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon light soy sauce
dash of wine
dash of pepper
half teaspoon oyster sauce
1 tablespoon chilli oil
1g msg
1g sugar

Method

Peel the outer skin of celery and cut it into small pieces
Cut chilli into small pieces
Blanch king prawn for 2 minutes in hot water and drain
Heat wok with oil (1 tablespoon), add garlic and rest of ingredients.
Add light soy sauce and wine, pepper, oyster sauce, chilli oil, msg and sugar.
Fried for a minute and lightly thicken with potato starch.
