Yummy prawns ready in a jiffy

PRAWNS IN OYSTER SAUCE

I love prawns...I could eat them everyday...they are a good source of protein, vit B-12 and B-6, iron and other minerals.

This recipe is one of my husband's favourite which I invented last month when I was in a haste to prepare something quickly for dinner and all I could find in my freezer was prawns.

 Here goes the recipe.
