Buttered Prawns

Buttered Prawns are as rich and flavourful as it sounds. A very popular Chinese dish you need a fast hand to complete this dish beautifully. For first handers, you might need a few practices before you can master the trickiest part, that is the stirring of the egg yolks. But hey, if the egg yolks do not turn as thinly as they should, it's still a great meal to sample! Try!

9 tbsp butter
2 tbsp minced garlic
