We don't take jumbo shrimps that often.... so it is rare to find me cooking jumbo shrimps at home. Even if I did cook, jumbo shrimp is just a condiment to steamboat or noodle stuff like what I did for local Malay prawn noodle. I don't have a recipe of jumbo shrimps, but I'm now going into that path. For the first time of my shrimp recipe, I keep the ingredients to the minimal and the simplest cooking method....steaming. As long as the shrimps are fresh, steaming is the best way to retain the original flavor.
When the shrimp is perfectly cooked, you can feel its crunch and firm texture when you bite on it. This jumbo shrimp appetizer with sweet, hot and spicy flavors, hoo...hoo...it's really tempting.

Hey pal, you've been silent since the past 2 weeks. Busy?
Like that sour (citrus) twist on the shrimps. Your shrimps are like 'glass' shrimps :O
yeah steamed prawns are the best, provided they're fresh enough.
I can hardly get prawns this fresh for steaming...
I love prawns and this sounds so mouth watering with all that ingredients in it.
Love those 4 S's! They look delicious!
Wow, this is the way to go...sweet, sour and spicy...can almost taste the shrimps :-)
Too bad our local prawns are out of season now...these look so good!

J2Kfm, yes correct! :)
Wendyywy, my place here can easily find fresh prawns. Lucky me!

Elizabeth, thanks. Wait for the right season then. :)
These are some juicy looking shrimps. Other prawn dishes I enjoy are steamed prawns (in Chinese wine) and prawn salad.

This looks so fresh and simply divine! Im sure the flavour was incredible....
I rarely eat jumbo shrimps either but these look too tasty to pass up!

those stuffed shrimps look delicious. and really great idea to put slice lime pieces between the prawns, I'm going to try it next time :)
Wow! These are beautiful. I might have to try this if I see large prawns-I know it would be a hit around here if I did!
This is such a beautfiul presentation! I love the flavour combinations too!
Mei Teng, my next target is drunken prawns, hehe...

mimid3vils, oh, that's a lot, hehe...
noobccok, the idea came into my mind spontaneously. It makes the plate of raw prawns look better.
Stella, feel free to try the recipe. If you can't find the calamansi, you can use lemon instead.
