This drunken prawns dish is one of my favourite. Sometimes, I love to add DOM Benedictine instead of Chinese rice wine, but Paul says that the alcohol was too strong aroma, he always asked me to make with Sherry or Chinese rice wine instead. It is very easy homemade Chinese dish and surprisingly tasty, and finger licking good! Usually when I go out to eat with Paul, I serve drunken prawns dish and cold beer, it can be pretty expensive in the restaurant, on their menus that could triples the price of the meal but if you're making them at home, you can save a lot of money.
