Directions
1. Twist off the prawn heads and peel away their shells. Run a knife down the length of the back of each peeled prawn and remove the black digestive thread. Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a large, wide saucepan over high heat.
2. Add the prawn heads and shells and stir-fry briskly with garlic and shallot for 3 minutes or until they turn pink. Add water, chilies, ginger, and cilantro, and bring the stock to a simmer for 20 minutes.
3. Strain and discard all aromatics to just only a clear broth. Put back on the stove and add the fish sauce and lemon juice. Bring to a boil and add bok choy; cook for 2 minutes, then add prawns and cook for another 2 minutes. Bok choy should just be cooked but still crunchy. Adjust seasoning to taste, ladle into bowls and sprinkle with chopped spring onion before serving. Enjoy! ❤️
