A friend gave us some large prawn or known as udang galah. It is very big that I only steamed two of it. I prefer to steam large prawns instead of stir fry it.

chopped garlic (up to each individual on the amount)
some chopped spring onions
1 tsp of butter
1 tsp of oil

Method
1)Stir fry the chopped garlic and spring onions with oil and butter till fragrant. Dish and set aside.
2)Right before steaming, sprinkle some salt onto the prawn.
3)Pour some fah tiew wine onto the prawn evenly.
4)Pour the fried garlic and spring onions onto the prawn.
5) Steam for about 2 minutes or until cook.
